EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the members of an exploration mission in all their glory. Standing side by side, they exude a sense of determination and expertise. From left to right, we see Mr. Pietri, an artillery lieutenant responsible for leading the convoy with utmost precision. Next is Commander Gallieni, the author of this remarkable story, whose passion for discovery shines through his eyes. Dr. Tautain stands tall as a navy doctor chosen for his extensive knowledge in ethnography and natural history – a valuable asset to the team's expedition into unknown territories. Lastly, there is Valliere, a naval infantry lieutenant entrusted with topographic surveys and field studies that would contribute greatly to expanding our understanding of these uncharted lands. Engraved by E. Ronjat, this image was created to illustrate Commander Gallieni's account of Exploration in Upper Niger during 1880-1881. Published in the renowned Tour du monde magazine under Edouard Charton's direction in 1882 Paris, this engraving serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Preserved within the Selva Collection today, it offers us a glimpse into the brave souls who dedicated themselves to unraveling mysteries beyond familiar horizons. This photograph by Leonard de Selva beautifully encapsulates their shared spirit of adventure and pursuit of knowledge – reminding us that exploration has always been driven by individuals willing to push boundaries and challenge what is known.
