EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph takes us back to the vibrant city of Dakar in 1888, offering a glimpse into its colonial past. The French School's meticulous attention to detail transports us to this bustling urban center on the coast of Senegal, where the empire's influence is palpable. Measuring at just 17x10 cm, this small but powerful print captures the essence of Dakar's layout and architecture during that time. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the city's strategic position along the Atlantic coastline, highlighting its significance as a maritime hub for trade and exploration. The engraving skillfully portrays Dakar as an integral part of France's African colonies, showcasing both its beauty and complexity. From the carefully planned streets to the majestic shoreline stretching out into the sea, every element reflects a harmonious blend between French imperial design and Senegalese culture. As we admire this historical artifact from New York Public Library's collection, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining their unique character. This lithograph not only offers a visual feast for cartography enthusiasts but also sparks curiosity about Dakar's rich history and its place within Africa’s colonial narrative.
