EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "French and English in West Africa, sketches by an English Officer" offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial era. Created by an anonymous 19th-century English School artist, this print showcases the humorous side of military travel and exploration. The scene is set in West Africa, where French and English officers are depicted engaging with local communities and wildlife. The officer's sketches capture the essence of their encounters, from a chief proudly carrying a butterfly to soldiers riding horses along the coast. The vibrant butterflies fluttering around add a touch of whimsy to the composition. The artwork highlights not only the cultural exchange between European powers but also their interactions with nature. It portrays both familiar farm animals like horses and more exotic creatures such as peacock butterflies and red admirals. This blend of military presence, naturalist observations, and playful humor creates a unique visual narrative. Through this print, we catch glimpses of life in West Africa during that time period – from palaver meetings to coastal landscapes dotted with surf boats. It serves as a reminder of how art can provide insights into historical events while simultaneously entertaining its viewers. Part of Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection held in private ownership, this engraving captures moments that transcend time boundaries while offering us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history.
