EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The fort of Goree" a drawing by A. de Bar from a photo featured in the first delivery of the 1872 publication, "Cruises to the Coast of Africa" in "Tour du Monde". The fortification, located on the island of Goree in Senegal, stands as a testament to both its historical significance and architectural beauty. The artist's skillful rendition captures the essence of this African landmark, transporting viewers back to an era when European powers vied for control over territories on the continent. The fort's imposing structure is juxtaposed against the serene backdrop of Senegal's coastline, creating a sense of intrigue and curiosity. Goree Island holds deep cultural significance as it was once a major trading post during colonial times. This image serves as a visual reminder of Africa's rich history and its enduring resilience. It invites us to reflect upon the complex narratives that have shaped this region throughout centuries. Through this artwork, we are invited to explore not only physical structures but also intangible stories embedded within them. The presence of African people within and around the fort reminds us that they were integral actors in shaping their own destinies amidst external forces. Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this piece through his private collection, allowing us access into an important chapter in African history. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and space while fostering understanding and appreciation for diverse cultures worldwide
