EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to the ancient fort of Richard-Toll, located a hundred and twenty kilometers away from Saint-Louis in Senegal. The intricate details of this print, now part of a private collection, allow us to appreciate the historical significance and architectural beauty of this long-forgotten structure. The fort itself stands proudly against the backdrop of an expansive African landscape. Its sturdy walls and imposing towers evoke a sense of strength and resilience that once protected its inhabitants. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde in 1861, offering readers a glimpse into distant lands. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now fully appreciate every fine line and delicate shading that brings this image to life. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also highlights the importance of exploration and discovery. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time; imagining what life might have been like within those fortress walls so many years ago. It is through art such as this that we can continue to learn about different cultures and expand our understanding of the world around us.
