EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bury in the sand" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by Eugene Girardet, was intended to illustrate the story "Five months in the nomadic moors of Western Sahara" written by Camille Douls. Published in 1888 under the direction of Edouard Charton, this piece is part of a collection housed in a private collection. The image depicts an African prisoner being subjected to punishment and abuse amidst the vastness of the Sahara desert. The harshness of his circumstances is palpable as he is buried up to his neck in sand, left vulnerable and exposed. This scene serves as a stark reminder of the injustices faced by individuals during that time period. Girardet's skillful engraving technique brings out intricate details that highlight both despair and resilience. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this thought-provoking composition. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era where human rights were often disregarded. It serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to ensure justice for all individuals regardless of their background or circumstances. Leonard de Selva's photograph expertly captures this remarkable artwork while preserving its essence for future generations.
