EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a drawing by D. Maillard titled "Femme Okanda has her toilet". The artwork was created in the 19th century to illustrate Alfred Marche's story of his expedition to Gabon and the Ogoue River between 1875 and 1877. This engraving, featured in Le tour du monde magazine directed by Edouard Charton, Paris, is now part of the Selva Collection. The image depicts an African woman named Femme Okanda preparing herself for the day ahead. With a mischievous grin on her face, she adorns herself with beautiful accessories such as necklaces and bracelets that accentuate her natural beauty. Her intricate hairstyle adds to her allure as she exudes confidence and coquetry. This enchanting portrayal captures not only the physical beauty of Femme Okanda but also highlights aspects of African culture during that time period. It offers a glimpse into daily life in Gabon while showcasing the seductive power of adornment. Leonard de Selva expertly photographed this historical print, allowing us to appreciate its timeless charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness both the elegance and simplicity found within one woman's morning routine.
