EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, marking the end of Commander Gallieni's exploration mission. Taken on April 23,1881, at Bakel (fort bati) on the borders of Senegal, Mauritania, and Mali, this image showcases the members of the mission who accompanied Gallieni during his expedition. Engraved by A. Sirouy from an original photograph, this artwork was created to illustrate Commander Joseph Gallieni's story "Exploration du Haut-Niger" (present-day Mali), which documented his remarkable journey. Commander Gallieni, a member of the Marine Infantry and a renowned explorer, led this ambitious expedition between 1881 and 1882. The team ventured into uncharted territories along the Niger River basin in West Africa. Their courageous efforts not only expanded geographical knowledge but also shed light on the diverse cultures and landscapes that existed within these regions. Published in the Tour du monde magazine's first semester edition in 1883 under Edouard Charton's editorship for Hachette Paris publishing house; this engraving serves as a visual testament to their extraordinary achievements. Achille Sirouy skillfully captured their camaraderie and determination through his artistic interpretation. Leonard de Selva has preserved this historical masterpiece with utmost care and respect for its significance. As we admire this print today, let us reflect upon Commander Gallieni's pioneering spirit and appreciate how explorations like these have shaped our understanding of different lands and peoples across time.
