EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the diverse canoes found along the gold coasts of Guinea. The series titled "Different Canoes Description of the Gold Coasts of Guinea" offers a fascinating glimpse into the various forms of canoeing used for both goods and people traffic in this region. In this particular image, we see a canoe equipped with a sail, denoted by the letter C below it. This mode of transportation highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of Africans during that time period, as they utilized different types of vessels to navigate their coastal waters. The print also includes an explanation written in Dutch, providing further insights into these unique watercrafts. It emphasizes anthropological characteristics and distinguishes between rowing-boats, canoes, sailing-ships, and sailing-boats. Created by Johann Theodor de Bry in 1602 using paper and letterpress printing techniques, this artwork measures approximately 218 mm in height by 228 mm in width. The legend accompanying it measures around 145 mm high by 225 mm wide. As part of the Liszt Collection's vast assortment of historical prints and artifacts, this print transports viewers back to a time when exploration and trade flourished along Africa's gold coast. Its rich details invite us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind these remarkable canoes.
