EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1888, titled "Engraving from Africa Pintoresca" takes us on a visual journey through the heart of Africa during the 19th century. The print showcases a scene filled with rich cultural diversity and exploration. In the foreground, we see tribesmen skillfully rowing their boats along a serene river. Their presence reflects the vibrant native communities that thrived in this region long before colonization took place. Meanwhile, colonists and explorers aboard larger ships can be spotted further down the river, symbolizing an era of European expansion into uncharted territories. The French flag flying proudly atop one of these ships hints at France's involvement in African colonization during this period. As we gaze deeper into the image, dense forests and towering trees envelop both sides of the riverbank, reminding us of Africa's lush natural beauty that was often exploited by colonial powers. This historic engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between indigenous populations and foreign settlers during an era marked by exploration and exploitation. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how history has shaped our understanding of cultures across continents while urging us to consider multiple perspectives when examining narratives surrounding colonisation.
