EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The moon in the desert of Nubia, SUDAN. Muslims pray" transports us to a moment frozen in time. The year is 1888, and we find ourselves amidst the vast expanse of the Nubian desert in Sudan. In this remote location, under the enchanting glow of the moonlight, a scene unfolds that speaks volumes about faith and devotion. A multitude of people gather together on this sacred ground to partake in their nightly prayers. Their faces illuminated by the soft lunar rays, they bow down in unison towards Mecca as an expression of their deep-rooted belief in Islam. Each individual carries within them a unique story and connection to their religion. French artist G. Roux masterfully captures this poignant moment through his intricate engraving technique. His attention to detail brings life to every figure present – from men with flowing robes and women draped modestly in veils to children observing with wide-eyed wonder. "The moon in the desert of Nubia" serves as a powerful reminder that faith knows no boundaries or limitations; it transcends culture, geography, and time itself. It also highlights how prayer can provide solace even amidst harsh conditions such as those found within deserts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by George Roux, we are transported back over a century ago when spirituality united individuals across continents and reminded them of their shared humanity despite differences in language or customs.
