This print titled "Les Explorateurs Contemporains" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world of excitement and adventure. The engraving, created by the French School, showcases a group of intrepid explorers embarking on an African expedition. The image is filled with intriguing details that transport us to this era of exploration. The explorers are depicted amidst their luggage, suggesting they are well-prepared for their journey into the unknown. One figure can be seen smoking a cigarette, adding an air of sophistication and daring to the scene. The dramatic landscape of Africa serves as the backdrop for this thrilling voyage. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the anticipation and thrill these explorers must have experienced as they set foot on new territory. This artwork also offers insights into colonialism during this period. With references to Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) and Tengrela in Cote d'Ivoire's northern region, it highlights France's involvement in exploring and colonizing parts of Africa during the scramble for Africa. Overall, "Les Explorateurs Contemporains" captures both the spirit of adventure and cultural context prevalent in 19th-century France.
