EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a glimpse into the daily life of Cape Verde in the 19th century. The image showcases residents of a village crossing at a fountain, their figures gracefully etched against the backdrop of their African homeland. The scene exudes an air of tranquility as villagers go about their routines, drawing water from the fountain and engaging in conversation with one another. Their traditional clothing adds vibrant pops of color to this otherwise monochromatic print, reflecting the rich cultural heritage that thrived within these communities. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their skillful hand has immortalized this snapshot in time for generations to come. Preserved within Lisbon's Historical Archive of Outremer, this lithograph serves as a window into an era long gone. Luisa Ricciarini's careful restoration work has breathed new life into this historical gem, ensuring its longevity and accessibility for art enthusiasts worldwide. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a simpler time when daily rituals were centered around community connections and nature's bounty. Through its depiction of everyday moments like crossing at the fountain, this artwork reminds us that even amidst our busy lives, it is essential to pause and appreciate the beauty found in ordinary moments – just as these Cape Verdean villagers did over a century ago.
