EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a visit to the Naba of Karaga in Ghana. The engraving, created by Riou, beautifully illustrates the story "From Niger to the Gulf of Guinee" written by Captain Louis Gustave Binger. This historical piece was featured in Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages, under the direction of Edouard Charton. The image transports us to a public assembly building where an important meeting is taking place. In this scene, we witness the grandeur and authority of African culture as a king or chief sits upon his throne, surrounded by his subjects. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate the rich heritage and customs that were prevalent during that era. The composition exudes a sense of respect and admiration for African traditions while also highlighting the significant role played by European explorers like Captain Binger. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures can come together through exploration and understanding. This particular print is part of a private collection owned by Leonard de Selva and showcases his passion for preserving historical artifacts from Africa's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported on an imaginary journey through time - immersing ourselves in both history and artistry.
