EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient Roman ruins of Dougga, specifically Bab-er-Roumia (Bab er Roumia), the gate of the Christian woman. The image depicts a group of travelers and their guides enjoying a leisurely picnic amidst the historical site, with a camera placed at the center as if capturing this memorable moment. Engraved by Eugene Girardet, this illustration was created to accompany the story "Voyage en Tunisie" by R. Cagnat and H. Saladin. It showcases an archaeological mission sponsored by the Ministry of Public Education in 1888 under Edouard Charton's direction. This expedition aimed to uncover Tunisia's rich history through exploration and documentation. The composition exudes a sense of adventure and camaraderie as we witness these explorers taking respite from their journey while surrounded by remnants of an ancient civilization. The juxtaposition between modern technology represented by the camera and the timeless ruins emphasizes humanity's continuous fascination with preserving memories. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured this historic moment, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that even centuries later, these Roman ruins continue to captivate our imagination and serve as windows into our past.
