EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Dinkas from the village of Koudj in Senegal, their bodies covered with ashes. The purpose behind this unique practice is not only to protect themselves from insects and parasites but also to enhance their appearance as a form of cosmetics. It is fascinating how these ashes serve both practical and social purposes within their community. Engraved after Laguillermie's drawing, this image was originally published in "Le tour du monde" direction 1874 by Dr. Georges Schweinfurth, under the editorship of Edouard Charton and Hachette edition in Paris. This particular piece belongs to the Selva Collection. The photograph transports us back to the late 19th century when Dr. Schweinfurth embarked on his journey deep into Africa between 1868 and 1871. His exploration aimed to uncover the heart of Africa's rich cultural diversity, capturing moments like these that showcase intriguing traditions. Through this image, we gain insight into the daily lives and customs of the Dinka people—a testament to their resourcefulness in utilizing natural elements for protection while simultaneously embracing them as part of their identity. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its anthropological significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded once again that beauty can be found even amidst unconventional practices rooted in tradition and necessity.
