EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the visit of the queens, the sixteen wives of King Sepopo, in Dr. Holub's box. Engraved by D. Maillard, this image was created to illustrate the story "Au pays des Marutses" written by Dr. Emile Holub between 1875 and 1879. Published in the Tour du monde magazine's second semester edition of 1883, edited by Edouard Charton, this engraving offers a glimpse into an intriguing civilization. The French School from the 19th century beautifully portrays this scene that showcases African culture and customs. The image depicts Dr. Holub's encounter with King Sepopo's wives as they gather around his box during their visit. It provides insight into native African life at that time, highlighting aspects such as polygamy and population dynamics within these communities. Preserved in a private collection today, this historical photograph is a testament to Leonard de Selva's passion for capturing moments that showcase different civilizations around the world. Through his lens, he brings attention to cultural diversity and invites viewers to appreciate these unique stories. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from over a century ago, we are reminded of our shared humanity and how photography can bridge gaps between cultures while preserving important chapters of our collective history.
