EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling port of Zanzibar, present-day Tanzania. Created by Evremond de Berard in 1860, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of a city steeped in history and maritime trade. The image is part of Captain Burton's voyage to the Great Lakes of East Africa between 1857 and 1859. It was featured in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" a renowned Parisian publication that chronicled various expeditions and journeys. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a bygone era where ships docked at the harbor, unloading their precious cargo from distant lands. The intricate details depicted by Berard showcase the architectural beauty of Zanzibar's buildings lining the waterfront. The print offers a glimpse into daily life at the port - merchants haggling over goods, sailors busy with their tasks, and locals going about their business amidst an atmosphere filled with energy and anticipation. Evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long past, this artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. It reminds us of Zanzibar's rich cultural heritage as well as its significance as a hub for trade along Africa's eastern coast. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece within his private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today.
