EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Femme of Goree (Senegal) - in 'Encyclopedia of Travels'" takes us on a visual journey to the vibrant island of Gorée, Senegal. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, showcases a young African girl exuding innocence and curiosity amidst her surroundings. The engraving, dating back to the 18th century, is part of an encyclopedia edited by Grasset de Saint-Sauveur in 1796. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and diversity found within Africa during that time period. The young girl's presence evokes a sense of wonderment and resilience. Her bright eyes reflect both her youthfulness and the strength she possesses as she navigates life on this picturesque island. This photograph encapsulates not only her individual story but also represents the collective experiences shared by many children growing up in Senegal. Gorée Island holds historical significance as it was once a major center for slave trade. However, this image focuses on celebrating the beauty and spirit of its people rather than dwelling solely on its painful past. Leonard de Selva's skillful composition captures every intricate detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate the authenticity and rawness present in this moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power art has to transport us across continents and centuries while fostering understanding and appreciation for different cultures around the world.
