EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The exploration mission meets a cannibal" is an engraving by Paule Crampel (1864-1964) that beautifully illustrates the story "La mission Crampel" by Albert Nebout (1862-1939). Published in 1890 in Le tour du Monde 1892, directed by Edouard Charton (1807-1891), Hachette, Paris. In this intriguing scene, we are transported back to the late nineteenth century as a French exploration mission encounters a cannibalistic tribe during their journey through Central Africa. The engraving vividly captures the tension and curiosity of both parties involved. The explorers stand cautiously at the edge of a village while observing the native inhabitants who have gathered around them. The image highlights cultural differences and raises questions about colonialism and anthropophagy prevalent during that time period. It serves as a powerful reminder of historical encounters between European explorers and indigenous peoples across Africa. Paule Crampel's masterful craftsmanship brings depth to each character's expression, allowing viewers to imagine themselves amidst this extraordinary encounter. The use of black and white adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to an era long gone. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable engraving. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistry but also its historical significance. This print is truly a testament to human curiosity, cultural exchange, and our ever-evolving understanding of different societies throughout history.
