This print takes us back to the year 1686, providing a glimpse into the world of shipbuilding in Guinea, Africa. The engraving captures the essence of this late 17th-century industry with remarkable detail and precision. In this scene, we witness a group of skilled African shipbuilders diligently working under the shade of a towering tree. With their expertise and craftsmanship, they are constructing an impressive canoe that will soon set sail on the vast ocean waters. Each worker is fully engrossed in their task, showcasing their dedication and commitment to creating seaworthy vessels. The image evokes a sense of admiration for these men who possess invaluable knowledge passed down through generations. Their ability to transform raw materials into majestic ships demonstrates not only their technical skills but also their deep connection with nature and its resources. This engraving is part of Olfert Dapper's renowned work "Description de l'Afrique" which provides valuable insights into various aspects of African life during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Guinea's shores. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the artistry and labor involved in shipbuilding centuries ago.
