EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the installation of a mission in Nango, showcasing the 10-month stay of Commander Joseph Gallieni and his team. The image showcases portraits of Gallieni himself, along with his captains Valliere and Pietri, Doctor Tautain, interpreters, guide, and cantiniere. Engraved by Riou based on a sketch by the author, this print was created to illustrate Gallieni's remarkable story "Exploration du Haut-Niger" (present-day Mali) during 1881-82. The scene depicts a group of determined individuals embarking on an expedition into unknown territory. Their expressions reflect both excitement and trepidation as they prepare for their journey ahead. Each person plays a crucial role in this mission; from the leaders who provide guidance and strategy to the interpreters who bridge cultural gaps. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable - every face tells its own story. It is evident that these individuals are not just explorers but also comrades united by a common purpose. The presence of portraits emphasizes their significance within the mission. Published in "Tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1883, this image serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to explore uncharted lands. It offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the courage required to venture into unfamiliar territories for knowledge and discovery. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historical moment for future generations to appreciate and admire.
