A Break in Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a bygone era, as depicted by the French School in the 19th century. This print from a private collection takes us on an adventurous journey through colonial Africa. Porters and colonialists, driven by curiosity and discovery, navigate their way through the dense jungle. The image evokes both excitement and preconceptions about this mysterious "dark continent". Racial stereotypes are evident as white men enjoy a moment of respite while African natives go about their daily activities. Despite these stereotypes, there is an air of bravery and courage among all those present. In this scene, we witness craftsmen showcasing their handywork alongside cooks demonstrating their gastronomic skills. A barbecue sizzles with mouthwatering delicacies as tea is brewed to perfection. The children's book illustration brings to life a world filled with adventure and camaraderie. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it encourages us to reflect on the complexities of colonialism while appreciating the diverse cultures that coexist within Africa. It reminds us that even amidst unfamiliar territories, shared moments of rest and enjoyment can bridge gaps between different peoples. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate ability to find common ground despite our differences. It invites viewers into a world where craftmanship meets gastronomy, where rest intertwines with exploration – ultimately reminding us that courage knows no boundaries when it comes to embracing new experiences in unknown lands.
