EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Grand-Bassam in Ivory Coast. The image beautifully captures a woman and a young girl adorned in traditional African attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of this coastal town. The woman's intricate hairstyle is a testament to her pride and creativity, reflecting the importance placed on personal appearance within their community. Her elegant dressing further emphasizes her status as she confidently walks alongside the young girl, who looks up to her with admiration. This print is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Edwin Hopper's renowned publication "The World its Cities and Peoples". It offers us a glimpse into daily life in Grand-Bassam during that era, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity found within Africa. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this historical artwork for future generations. Through their efforts, we can now marvel at this enchanting scene that encapsulates both the gracefulness of these women and the spirit of Grand-Bassam itself.
