EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment during a trade mission in Africa amidst the period of European colonization. In this scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between a European gentleman and his African porters as they take a break from their arduous journey. The location could be either the River Bahr-el-Ghazal or the Bahr-el-Ghazal ravine, both situated in what is now Sudan. During this time, vast regions of Africa were under French rule, and this image offers us a glimpse into that era. The card was produced by the Monastery of Aiguebelle and showcases vibrant colors through chromolithography. Intriguing elements within the photograph include an African man dressed in traditional attire cooking over a campfire while wearing a fez hat. We also spot a French soldier known as Zouave present at the scene. This collectible print provides valuable insight into not only colonialism but also travel and trade practices prevalent during that century. The image transports us back to an age where cultures collided, highlighting both cooperation and power dynamics between Europeans and Africans. It serves as an important reminder of our shared history while igniting curiosity about these individuals' stories within this complex narrative of imperialism.
