EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, taken by F. Rodet in c. 1935, showcases the tender bond between an Ivory-Coast Christian father and his son. The photograph measures 16.1x12 cm and is part of a private collection. The image offers a glimpse into the colonial era of West Africa, with the subjects dressed in traditional costumes that reflect their cultural heritage. Both father and son exude pride as they pose for this ethnographic portrait, providing valuable insight into the lives of African families during this period. The black and white composition adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing the timeless nature of family bonds across different cultures. The photographer's skillful use of light and shadow enhances every detail captured on film. On closer inspection, one can find additional information inscribed on the verso: "The Kingdom Overseas, Aug. 1935". This intriguing detail hints at a larger narrative surrounding this particular moment frozen in time. As we contemplate this mesmerizing image from Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), it becomes evident that it represents more than just a snapshot; it embodies anthropological significance as well. Through its lens, we witness not only a beautiful familial connection but also gain insights into historical context and cultural traditions that have shaped generations. This remarkable gelatin silver print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable document of history—a testament to the power of photography to capture moments that transcend time itself.
