EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 19th century, capturing a moment in history during the expedition to Africa from 1879-1882. The subject of this portrait is Doctor Tautain, a member of the expedition under the command of Gallieni. Engraved by E. Ronjat from an original photograph, this image was used to illustrate Commander Joseph Gallieni's story "Exploration du Haut Niger" (present-day Mali) published in the Tour du monde in 1883. Doctor Tautain stands tall and proud, his gaze fixed on some distant point beyond our view. Dressed in traditional explorer attire with a wide-brimmed hat and rugged clothing, he exudes an air of adventure and determination. His face bears traces of weariness but also hints at excitement for what lies ahead. The engraving beautifully captures both the physicality and character of Doctor Tautain, showcasing his dedication to scientific exploration amidst challenging conditions. It serves as a testament to the courage and resilience exhibited by those who ventured into unknown territories during this era. Preserved through time, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in African exploration history. It reminds us of the bravery and curiosity that drove individuals like Doctor Tautain to embark on perilous journeys across uncharted lands, expanding our knowledge of cultures and landscapes previously unseen by Western eyes.
