EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1888, we are transported to the vast African desert where a group of intrepid explorers gather to witness a rare celestial event - an eclipse. The image, skillfully crafted by George Roux, invites us into the world of "Les exiles de La Terre" by Andre Laurie. As our eyes delve into the scene, we see the explorers huddled together, their faces turned skyward in awe and anticipation. Binoculars and telescopes in hand, they eagerly await the moment when the moon will pass before the sun, casting its shadow upon Earth's surface. The desert landscape stretches out before them with its golden dunes and endless horizons. The sun bathes everything in brilliant light as if preparing for its temporary disappearance. Sunbeams dance across the sand, creating a mesmerizing play of shadows and illuminating every grain. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in time but also evokes a sense of wonderment at humanity's insatiable thirst for exploration and knowledge. It reminds us that even amidst harsh conditions like those found in Africa's arid deserts, there is beauty to be discovered. Through Roux's meticulous craftsmanship and Jaime Abecasis' photographic expertise capturing this print on film, we are granted access to history unfolding before our eyes. This artwork serves as both a testament to human curiosity and an invitation to embrace nature's mysteries with open hearts and minds.
