EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bac sur le Niger, a Say (engraving)" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases the beauty and diversity of Africa's landscapes and wildlife. The image transports us to the banks of the majestic Niger River, where a bustling scene unfolds before our eyes. A group of camels stands patiently near a wooden ferry known as "bac" ready to transport goods and people across the river. These magnificent creatures, known as Bactrian camels with their distinctive two humps, add an exotic touch to this vibrant tableau. As we delve deeper into the details of this engraving, we are captivated by the rich tapestry of African wildlife that surrounds these camels. From graceful antelopes grazing nearby to colorful birds soaring above them, nature's wonders seem endless in this enchanting setting. "Bac sur le Niger" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability. It reminds us that throughout history, humans have relied on animals like these camels for transportation and survival in challenging terrains such as those found along the Niger River. This remarkable print is part of a private collection but has been digitally cleaned for optimal viewing pleasure. Its inclusion in Le Tour Du Monde magazine back in 1860 further emphasizes its significance as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document.
