EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fillette Bornou (Fort Lamy)" transports us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment of cultural significance during the Citroen Centre Afrique expedition. Executed by Alexander Yakovlev, this colour lithograph is part of the Dessins et Peintures d'Afrique collection published in Paris in 1927. The image showcases a young African girl from Bornou, her presence exuding both innocence and strength. Her braided hair reflects the rich traditions and artistry of her culture, while her gaze hints at a wisdom beyond her years. The backdrop of Fort Lamy (now known as N'Djamena), Chad adds an intriguing layer to this visual narrative. Louis Audouin-Dubreuil and Georges-Marie Haardt led the second mission of the Citroen Centre Afrique expedition, embarking on a daring journey through Africa's heartland. This photograph serves as a testament to their exploration and documentation efforts during this historic undertaking. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this artwork offers us an intimate glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder ensures that it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and cultural significance.
