EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a momentous event in Tete, Mozambique - a bridal cortege. The print is part of an illustrious collection that aims to illustrate Dr. Livingstone's pioneering voyages to Southern Africa between 1840 and 1856. Published under the direction of Edouard Charton in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" in 1866 Paris, this artwork offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the region. The scene depicts a lively procession as the bride and her entourage make their way through the city streets. The artist skillfully portrays the vibrant energy surrounding this joyous occasion, with crowds gathered to witness and celebrate this union. Traditional African attire adorns each member of the bridal party, adding depth and authenticity to the engraving. Intriguingly, amidst the festivities, one can spot an armed figure within the crowd - perhaps symbolizing protection or reflecting historical realities during that time period. This remarkable print from Leonard de Selva's private collection not only showcases his passion for preserving art but also highlights Mozambique's cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to both Dr. Livingstone's explorations and our collective fascination with diverse customs around marriage ceremonies worldwide. As we gaze upon this evocative image frozen in time, we are reminded of how art can transport us across continents and centuries while celebrating humanity's shared experiences.
