EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the long canoes of the Bambaras on the Niger River, skillfully maneuvered with long perches. These impressive vessels have the capacity to carry multiple individuals as well as livestock such as cattle or horses. The engraving serves as an illustration for Lieutenant (Navy) M. Mage's voyage to Western Sudan between 1863-1866, which was published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under the direction of Edouard Charton in Paris, 1868. The image transports us back to a time when African cultures thrived along this majestic river. It highlights the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Bambara people who utilized these canoes not only for transportation but also for trade and exploration purposes. The rowers expertly navigate through calm waters while a horseman stands tall on one of these sturdy crafts. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage and its deep connection with nature and waterways. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where traditional modes of transport played an integral role in shaping societies along rivers like the Niger.
