EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness the iron ore smelting process at Fouta Djalon, Senegal. The drawing by Hadamard beautifully illustrates Lieutenant Lambert's remarkable journey to this region in 1860. The engraving, featured in "Le tour du monde" publication of 1861, showcases the intricate craftsmanship involved in iron smelting. It highlights the expertise of African artisans as they skillfully transform raw materials into valuable metal products. The image captures a moment frozen in history, where we can almost hear the rhythmic pounding of hammers against molten iron. The intense heat emanating from the furnace creates an ethereal glow that illuminates the faces of these talented craftsmen. Through this artwork, we gain insight into both the technological advancements and cultural significance of metallurgy in Africa during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. Leonard de Selva's photographic reproduction allows us to appreciate every detail with clarity and precision. This private collection piece offers a glimpse into a world far removed from our own but still resonates with its timeless beauty. As we admire this historical artifact, let us acknowledge and celebrate not only Lieutenant Lambert's expedition but also the rich heritage of Senegalese craftsmanship that continues to inspire generations today.
