EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Tofani, titled "Portrait of Dr. Emile Holub, in an exploration suit" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a distinguished African explorer, Dr. Emile Holub, who is depicted wearing his exploration suit with utmost pride and confidence. Dr. Holub's piercing gaze captures the essence of his adventurous spirit and determination to explore the unknown territories of Africa. His rugged features tell tales of countless expeditions through treacherous landscapes and encounters with indigenous tribes. Engraved to illustrate Dr. Holub's remarkable story "Au pays des Marutses" (In the Land of Marutses), this print transports us into a world filled with mystery and intrigue. It offers a glimpse into the life of an intrepid explorer who dedicated himself to unraveling Africa's secrets. Published in 1883 as part of Edouard Charton's renowned Tour du monde magazine, this engraving serves as a testament to both Dr. Holub's extraordinary adventures and Tofani's artistic talent in capturing human emotion on paper. As we admire this historical artwork from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded of the courage it took for explorers like Dr. Emile Holub to venture into uncharted territories during an era when knowledge about distant lands was limited. Through this portrait, we pay homage not only to Dr. Holub but also to all those who have dared to push boundaries
