EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the heart of Africa in the late 19th century. The image depicts Abd es Samate, a trusted friend and lieutenant of Mounza, the powerful king of the Mombuttous. Standing tall and fearless, Abd es Samate is seen challenging his enemies, the Zandes (or niam niam), who have declared war against his people. The engraving is based on an original drawing by Laguillermie and was featured in Dr. George Schweinfurth's renowned journey to Africa between 1868 and 1871. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874 under Edouard Charton's direction at Edition Hachette Paris, this piece offers a rare glimpse into an era marked by exploration and discovery. Abd es Samate's resolute stance embodies strength and determination as he confronts those who threaten his kingdom. The intricate details captured by Laguillermie bring this historical moment to life, showcasing both the cultural richness of Africa and its complex dynamics during that time period. This remarkable print from Leonard de Selva's private collection serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in preserving history. It invites viewers to reflect on past civilizations while appreciating their resilience amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of humanity's unyielding spirit throughout centuries of triumphs and challenges alike.
