EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Djohar, the esteemed governor of the djof. With a narguile in hand, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. The portrait, created by G. Vuillier, was commissioned to illustrate Lady Anna Blunt's remarkable story "pelerinage au Nedjed, cradle of the Arab race" published in 1878-1879. Djohar's regal presence is accentuated by his traditional attire and distinguished features. As governor of this grouping of villages located just minutes apart from each other, Djohar holds immense responsibility for their well-being and prosperity. The smoke from his narguile adds an ethereal quality to the image, symbolizing both relaxation and contemplation. It hints at moments spent pondering important decisions that impact not only his own life but also those under his governance. Published in 1882 as part of Edouard Charton's renowned Tour du monde magazine in Paris, this engraving transports us back to a time when exploration and discovery were highly valued. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage found within these villages nestled deep within Nedjed - known as the cradle of the Arab race. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historical moment through photography, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This print serves as a testament to Djohar's leadership and provides viewers with a window into a world long gone but forever immortalized through artistry.
