EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking aspect of the heights with vertical walls at the Dasoulami and Bobodioulasou plateau in the Gulf of Guinee. The image, an engraving by Riou, was created to illustrate Captain Louis Gustave Binger's remarkable story "From Niger to the Gulf of Guinee" published in 1887-1889. The scene depicted showcases the rugged beauty and formidable nature of these plateaus. Towering cliffs rise majestically from below, creating a dramatic backdrop against which the techniques of hooking mounts for expedition convoys are described. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. The precision and detail captured by Riou's engraving bring this momentous journey to life. Every line etched on paper tells a tale of exploration, perseverance, and adventure that unfolded during Binger's travels. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it serves as a window into a time long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity and desire to explore uncharted territories. Preserved within private collections, this photograph offers us a glimpse into our past while also honoring those who dared to venture beyond known horizons. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this piece from Fine Art Finder, ensuring its legacy endures for generations to come.
