EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Tajourah, Bay of Obok (French Protectorate), at the Entrance to the Red Sea" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. Created by Georges Fraipont, a talented artist from that era, this print showcases an exquisite view of Tajourah, a coastal town located in present-day Djibouti. The scene depicts the picturesque Bay of Obok, which served as a French protectorate during this period. Positioned at the entrance to the Red Sea, it was an important maritime gateway for trade and exploration. The intricate details captured by Fraipont's skilled hand transport us to a time when sailing ships dominated these waters. Published in The Illustrated London News on March 16th, 1889, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing Fraipont's artistic prowess. With its stunning depiction of coastline and shoreline merging with the vast expanse of sea beyond, it evokes feelings of awe and wonder. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate both historical significance and artistic beauty simultaneously. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring distant lands closer to our hearts.
