EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Zanzibar from the sea" transports viewers to a bygone era of exploration and adventure. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork captures the essence of trade and commerce in Africa during that time. The scene depicts ships sailing through the crystal-clear waters off Zanzibar's coast, with African locals engaging in bustling trade activities. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho technique bring life to every detail, from the boats bobbing on the waves to the intricate patterns adorning them. One cannot help but feel a sense of awe at the sight of explorers embarking on their journeys into uncharted territories. This print was originally featured as an illustration for "The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone" a book published around 1878 by Murdoch. Zanzibar, known for its rich history as a hub for spice trading and cultural exchange, is beautifully captured here. The inclusion of tugboats adds another layer to this narrative, symbolizing both transport and assistance provided during these maritime endeavors. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of David Livingstone's significant contributions but also of Africa's vast potential waiting to be discovered. This print serves as a window into an era when brave explorers ventured out into unknown waters seeking knowledge and forging connections between distant lands.
