EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Sheik of the Gobrons. The image showcases a serene afternoon at his favorite spot, where women engage in various traditional activities. Embroidery and spinning wool take center stage as skilled hands meticulously work on delicate fabrics, creating intricate patterns that tell stories of their own. Surrounded by wicker baskets and pottery, these women immerse themselves in their craft, showcasing not only their talent but also their dedication to preserving age-old traditions. Each stroke of the needle or twist of wool represents a connection to their cultural heritage. Engraved by Riou and featured in Georges Revoil's travelogue "Voyage chez les Benadir, les somalis et les Bayoun" this illustration transports us to a time when exploration was celebrated and documented through art. Published in Le Tour du monde journal des voyages under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this image captures both beauty and history. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this moment from our past. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the importance of honoring our roots while embracing progress. This print serves as a testament to the timeless allure of craftsmanship and reminds us that even centuries later, its value remains intact.
