EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished Portrait of Captain Pietri, a member of the naval artillery, during the historic expedition to Africa from 1879-1882. Under the command of Commander Joseph Gallieni, this remarkable journey took place in present-day Mali and aimed to explore the enigmatic Haut Niger region. The engraving by E. Ronjat beautifully captures Captain Pietri's commanding presence and unwavering determination. His resolute gaze reflects his commitment to duty and his role as a leader in this groundbreaking mission. The intricate details in this artwork bring forth an air of adventure and curiosity that defined exploration during this era. Published in the renowned Tour du monde magazine edited by Edouard Charton, this portrait serves as a visual representation of Commander Gallieni's enthralling account titled "Exploration du Haut Niger". This publication allowed readers across Paris and beyond to immerse themselves in tales of discovery and witness firsthand the bravery exhibited by individuals like Captain Pietri. Preserved within a private collection today, this print transports us back to a time when Africa was still largely uncharted territory for European explorers. It reminds us of their relentless pursuit for knowledge, pushing boundaries both geographically and intellectually. As we admire Leonard de Selva's skillful capture of this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance in commemorating those who fearlessly ventured into unknown lands for the sake of expanding human understanding.
