EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Voyage Au Pays De Kong" takes us back to the thrilling era of 19th-century exploration and adventure in Africa. The engraving, created by French School artists, showcases an exciting expedition led by Captain Binger through the dense African forest. In this dramatic scene, we see a group of intrepid explorers navigating their way through the jungle, braving unknown territories and encountering various challenges along the way. They are bearers of knowledge and curiosity, driven by a thirst for discovery. The image captures the essence of colonialism during that time period when European powers were scrambling for control over Africa. It serves as a reminder of both the excitement and controversy surrounding these expeditions. Amidst the lush greenery, we witness camp set up as shelter for these brave adventurers who have embarked on this perilous journey. Led by Captain Binger and accompanied by Louis Gustave Binger and Marcel Monnier, they venture into uncharted lands in what is now known as Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire). This finely-detailed engraving not only transports us to another time but also highlights France's historical involvement in African exploration. It symbolizes both cultural exchange and imperialism within French overseas departments and territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, our imagination runs wild with thoughts of untold stories waiting to be discovered within those mysterious jungles.
