EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the various types of Pakhala, a region in Ivory Coast. The engraving by Riou beautifully illustrates the story "From Niger to the Gulf of Guinee" written by Captain Louis Gustave Binger in 1887-1889. Published in Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages under the direction of Edouard Charton, this edition from Hachette Paris transports us back to the second semester of 1891. The image captures a street scene filled with native African villagers going about their daily lives. It offers a glimpse into their culture and way of life during that era. The authenticity is palpable as we witness individuals adorned with traditional attire, showcasing their unique customs and traditions. It's important to note that this engraving also portrays nudity, which was likely customary for these communities at that time. This adds an additional layer of historical significance to the artwork. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this stunning piece takes us on a visual journey through Africa's rich heritage and diverse landscapes. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and transport us across continents and centuries.
