EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the town of Tiong-Gi in Mali, with its impressive fortifications and clay towers. The engraving, created by Riou, beautifully illustrates Captain Louis Gustave Binger's story "From Niger to the Gulf of Guinee" published in 1887-1889. This particular print was featured in Le tour du monde, a renowned journal of voyages edited by Edouard Charton. The image transports us back to the late 19th century when urban planning and native architecture were at their peak in Africa. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the rich cultural heritage of Tiong-Gi. The towering structures made from clay stand as a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the local people. As we gaze upon this scene, it is impossible not to be drawn into the bustling streets and vibrant atmosphere that once filled these ancient walls. Each tower tells a story of tradition and history passed down through generations. Leonard de Selva's photograph flawlessly captures every nuance and texture present in Riou's engraving. It serves as a timeless reminder of an era long gone but preserved forever within this stunning piece of art. Whether you are an enthusiast for African culture or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a glimpse into a world that has shaped our collective history.
