EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La voltige, par des Bedouins" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Paris. Taken from the renowned "Album Grotesque" illustrated by Victor Adam around 1850, this image showcases a remarkable scene that combines elements of civilization and circus. In this mesmerizing engraving, we witness a breathtaking display of acrobatics performed by Bedouin horsemen. These nomadic African riders demonstrate their incredible skills as they balance effortlessly on their horses' backs, defying gravity with grace and precision. The vibrant colors used in the illustration add an extra layer of allure to the composition. The image not only captures the physical prowess and agility of these talented performers but also offers a glimpse into North African culture during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich diversity and vibrancy found within different populations across Africa. Preserved in a private collection, this photograph is an exquisite example of Leonard de Selva's exceptional talent for capturing historical art pieces. As it falls under public domain, its beauty can be enjoyed without any commercial restrictions or limitations. Allow yourself to be transported back in time through this extraordinary visual representation—a true masterpiece that celebrates human ingenuity and cultural exchange between continents.
