EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Explorer Pietro Paolo Savorgnan di Brazza bidding farewell to Kalasa, Zambia, as depicted in the renowned artwork "Africa Pintoresca". Published in 1888 by the Spanish School, this engraving offers a glimpse into the extraordinary life and adventures of this Franco-Italian explorer. Intriguingly, the image showcases a diverse array of African natives and tribesmen gathered together to witness Di Brazza's departure. Clad in traditional dress and armed with rifles and guns, they form a vibrant crowd that exudes both curiosity and reverence for their departing guest. The scene is filled with an air of celebration as dancing and merriment permeate through the gathering. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as boxes and luggage are carried by members of the tribe, symbolizing their support for Di Brazza's expedition. This photograph encapsulates not only an important historical event but also highlights the cultural richness of Zambia. It serves as a testament to Africa's allure during that era when explorers embarked on daring journeys into uncharted territories. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece provides us with valuable insights into colonial exploration while honoring Pietro Paolo Savorgnan di Brazza's contributions. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our shared human history and how it continues to shape our present-day understanding of Africa's past.
