EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1854, offering a glimpse into the historic city of Saint-Louis in Senegal. The illustration, originally featured in Louis Leon Faidherbe's book "Le Senegal" showcases the remarkable beauty and significance of this West African capital. Saint-Louis, known as Ndar in Wolof, was established by French traders on an uninhabited island called Ndar in 1659. In honor of King Louis XIV of France, it was named Saint-Louis-du-Fort. This engraving from the 19th century perfectly captures the colonial charm and imperial presence that characterized this thriving river town. The image portrays a panoramic view of Saint-Louis with its stunning coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The map-like quality adds depth to our understanding of how this coastal city played a vital role in French colonisation during that era. As we gaze upon this aerial perspective, we can almost feel the sea breeze and hear echoes from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of both Senegal's rich history and its enduring ties to France. Preserved within New York Public Library's collection, this artwork offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to the cultural exchange between Africa and Europe during a time when empires sought dominance over distant lands. Let us cherish this visual window into Saint-Louis' past – an enchanting blend of colonial architecture, maritime heritage, and vibrant
