EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us on a journey to the heart of Africa in the late 19th century. The image, titled "Parc a bestiaux in the Dinkas of the village of Koudj (Senegal)" showcases an intricate scene from Dr. Georges Schweinfurth's expedition through Senegal. In this snapshot, we are transported to a traditional African village where the Dinka people reside. The focal point is a parc a bestiaux, or livestock enclosure, bustling with activity. The Dinkas' deep connection with their animals is evident as they tend to their cattle with care and expertise. The artist's attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life – from the thatched-roof huts in the background to the villagers adorned in traditional attire. This engraving serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of African culture during this time period. Published in "Le tour du monde" by Edouard Charton, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It reminds us of Africa's rich heritage and its enduring traditions that have shaped communities for centuries. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this remarkable artwork, preserving it for generations to come. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate its significance as not just an aesthetic masterpiece but also as a testament to Africa's cultural diversity and resilience.
