SENEGAMBIAN PEOPLE. As a political unit, Senegambia was created by dueling French
SENEGAMBIAN PEOPLE. As a political unit, Senegambia was created by dueling French and English colonial forces in the region. Competition between the French and the English began in the 16th century when both started to establish trading centers. Although there was some overlap in their areas of influence, French trade centered on the Senegal River and in the Cap-Vert region and English trade on the Gambia River

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection showcases the Senegambian people, a political unit born out of fierce competition between French and English colonial forces in the region. Dating back to the 16th century, both nations vied for control by establishing trading centers along their respective rivers. The intricate details of this engraved image transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into history through its illustrative technique. The Victorian-era art style adds an air of elegance and nostalgia to this vintage print, evoking a sense of curiosity about the past. As we admire this historic artwork, it is fascinating to observe how French trade centered around the Senegal River and Cap-Vert region, while English trade focused on the Gambia River. This geographical overlap undoubtedly fueled tensions between these colonial powers as they sought dominance over lucrative trading opportunities. Through this engraving's retro styling and artistic craftsmanship, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that shaped Senegambia. It serves as a testament to human ambition and exploration during an era when empires clashed for supremacy. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece not only for its aesthetic value but also for its ability to transport us into a bygone era filled with political rivalries and historical significance.
