EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a scene of blacksmiths at work in Simiango, a village nestled on the banks of the majestic Zambese River. The print is part of an illustration series featured in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" a renowned publication directed by Edouard Charton in Paris during 1866. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of African craftsmanship as we witness these late 19th-century artisans laboring over their forge and oven. Their expertise and dedication are evident as they manipulate various instruments to shape metal into useful objects. This image provides a glimpse into the manufacturing technology employed by these skilled craftsmen. Dr. Livingstone's pioneering voyages to Southern Africa from 1840 to 1856 inspired this engraving, serving as a testament to his exploration efforts and documenting cultural practices encountered along his journey. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical gem for generations to appreciate. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it reminds us not only of the rich heritage found within Africa but also pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives honing traditional skills that continue to be passed down through generations.
