EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indigenes du haut Senegal, Peuhls et Malinkes" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Senegal. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, portrays two distinct ethnic groups - the Peuhls and the Malinkes. The image showcases their traditional attire and unique physical features, allowing us to appreciate the diversity within Senegal's indigenous population. It is evident that each group has its own distinctive style and customs. This historical artwork was originally published in Le Tour Du Monde in 1861, providing readers with a visual representation of these indigenous communities during a time when exploration and travel were highly valued. Through this engraving, we are transported to an era where discovering new cultures and documenting them through art was seen as essential. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this image, it now appears vibrant and clear despite its age. This allows us to fully appreciate the intricate details captured by the artist. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our history and celebrating diverse cultures worldwide. It serves as a testament to humanity's curiosity about other societies while honoring those who have come before us.
