EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful depiction of Indigenous women in the vicinity of Pretoria. Engraved by Pranishnikoff, it was created to illustrate the enthralling story "Comment j'ai traversé l'Afrique" (How I Crossed Africa) by Major Serpa Pinto, which was published in 1877-1878 in the renowned magazine Tour du monde. The image transports us back to a significant moment in history, providing a glimpse into the lives and experiences of these African women during that time. The engraving captures their grace and strength as they navigate their daily lives amidst the backdrop of South Africa's diverse landscape. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and resilience of Indigenous communities. It serves as a testament to their contributions and existence within society, challenging prevailing narratives that often overlook or marginalize them. The black-and-white composition adds depth and intensity to this portrayal, emphasizing both the beauty and struggles faced by these women. Their nudity is depicted not for sensationalism but rather as an authentic representation of their traditional attire or customs. Leonard de Selva's careful curation ensures that this historical artifact is preserved for future generations to appreciate. As we engage with this image today, let us reflect on its significance and continue our journey towards understanding and respecting different cultures across our global community.
