EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Our trailer is moving" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into an adventurous journey through Tunisia. Engraved by Eugene Girardet, this artwork was commissioned in 1882-1883 by the Ministry of Public Instruction to illustrate the story "Voyage en Tunisie" written by historian Rene Cagnat and architect Henri Saladin. The image showcases a caravan on the move, capturing the essence of exploration and discovery. The intricate details in Girardet's engraving bring life to every element depicted - from the majestic camels leading the way with their graceful stride, to the sturdy wagons carrying essential supplies for this daring expedition. As we observe this historical scene, we are transported to a time when travel was filled with uncertainty and excitement. The vast desert landscape stretches out before us, its golden dunes contrasting against a clear blue sky. It is evident that these intrepid travelers have embarked on an extraordinary voyage across unfamiliar terrain. Published in Le Tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages in 1884 under Edouard Charton's editorial guidance, this artwork serves as both documentation and inspiration for future generations. Its inclusion in such esteemed publications ensures that it will forever be remembered as part of our collective history. Through Leonard de Selva's lens capturing this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of humanity's enduring spirit of adventure and curiosity about distant lands.
