EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Entrée de Barth à Timbouctou en septembre 1853; L'Ouest Africain, 1914," is a stunning depiction of the arrival of explorer Heinrich Barth at the ancient city of Timbuktu, Mali, in September 1853. Created by the skilled German artist Johann Martin Bernatz in 1914, this print was originally published in the renowned "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree." Barth, a renowned European explorer, embarked on an extensive expedition through Africa in 1849, documenting geographical features, cultures, and peoples of the Sahara Desert. His arrival at Timbuktu, an important center of Islamic learning and trade, marked a significant milestone in his exploration of West Africa. The print beautifully captures the essence of the moment as Barth and his entourage, led by camels, make their way into the city. The buildings, with their distinctive African architectural styles, stand proudly against the backdrop of the arid desert landscape. People, both black and white, can be seen gathered along the way, observing the arrival of the explorers with curiosity and wonder. The print offers a unique glimpse into the rich history and culture of West Africa during the 19th century, providing a visual record of a time when Europeans were still exploring and documenting the vast and mysterious continent. With its intricate details and masterful use of contrast, Bernatz's work continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
