EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, a renowned French explorer of the 19th century. The vibrant color lithograph captures the essence of his last expedition to the Congo, where he embarked on a mission to investigate reports of forced labor and brutality against the native population in the French colony. In this image, we see M. Savorgnan de Brazza standing proudly amidst his escort, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Central Africa. His determined expression reflects his unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth and fighting for justice in an era marked by colonialism and exploitation. As one of France's most valiant explorers, Savorgnan de Brazza played a significant role during the "Scramble for Africa" when European powers sought to claim territories across the continent. However, unlike many others driven solely by greed or conquest, he genuinely cared about Africans and their well-being. This photograph not only immortalizes a pivotal moment in history but also serves as a testament to Savorgnan de Brazza's legacy as an advocate for African rights. It reminds us that exploration is not merely about conquering new lands but also understanding different cultures and championing social justice. Through this remarkable artwork from Le Petit Journal published on March 19th, 1905, we are transported back in time to witness both bravery and compassion intertwined within one man's extraordinary journey through uncharted territories.
