EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century, where a scene of exploration unfolds before our eyes. Departed from Kalassa, the narrator traveler sits comfortably in his chair, surrounded by a group of porters who will accompany him on his journey through the heart of Africa. The engraving, created by Edouard Riou as an illustration for Victor Giraud's story Les lacs de l'Afrique équatoriale, captures the spirit of adventure and colonialism that characterized this era. The ensign of ship turned explorer, Giraud embarked on an expedition between 1883 and 1885 to uncover the mysteries hidden within Africa's equatorial lakes. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but be drawn into the narrative unfolding before us. The native porters stand tall and strong beside their European leader, showcasing both their loyalty and resilience in undertaking such arduous journeys. Their presence serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between explorers and those they encountered during this period. This print from Leonard de Selva's private collection offers us a glimpse into history - a moment frozen in time that allows us to reflect on past expeditions while contemplating our own place in today's world. It is through images like these that we gain insight into not only historical events but also societal attitudes towards exploration and colonization.
