EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Senegalese spahi (cavalier) in the historic city of Saint-Louis. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, was originally published in "Le tour du monde" in 1872. It beautifully captures a scene from Vice-Admiral Fleuriot de Langle's cruise along the coast of Africa in 1868. The image portrays a powerful African horseman, adorned with traditional attire and mounted on his majestic steed. With great pride and elegance, he represents the strength and bravery of the Senegalese army during this era. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring to life not only the rider but also his loyal companion - the horse. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into a time when cavalry played an essential role in military operations across Africa. The photograph is part of Selva Collection, showcasing its significance as a valuable piece of history.
