EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and adventure of an expedition in 19th century Africa. Titled "Installation De M Paul Soleillet A Obock" this engraving by the French School showcases the dramatic scene of French explorer Paul Soleillet's arrival in Obock, Djibouti. The image transports us back to a time when colonialism and exploration were at their peak, as European nations vied for control over African territories during the infamous Scramble for Africa. Here, we witness the bustling activity surrounding Soleillet's installation, with traders and locals eagerly engaging in commerce and cultural exchange. The composition exudes a sense of energy and anticipation as people from different backgrounds come together against the backdrop of vibrant African landscapes. The French influence is palpable, evident not only through Soleillet's presence but also through references to France itself – its culture, overseas departments, and territories. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring allure that travel holds for humanity; it speaks to our innate curiosity about distant lands and cultures. It serves as a testament to those intrepid explorers who ventured into unknown territories with a thirst for discovery. This print invites us to reflect on both the historical context of colonialism in Africa and our own fascination with exploration. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time – an exciting chapter in human history that continues to captivate our imagination today.
