EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Riou takes us back to the bustling fruit market of Zanzibar, Tanzania in the late 19th century. The scene is filled with vibrant energy as merchants and customers navigate through a crowd, engaging in lively exchanges. The image beautifully captures the daily life of Africans at work, showcasing the resilience and industriousness of its people. The woman at the center of the frame stands out, her presence commanding attention. She embodies strength and determination as she tends to her stall, offering an array of colorful fruits that symbolize abundance and sustenance. Her expertise in selecting only the freshest produce is evident from her confident expression. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to a time when commerce thrived amidst a backdrop of architectural beauty. The view extends beyond the market itself, revealing glimpses of a vibrant cityscape that adds depth to this visual narrative. Engraved by Riou for M. G. Revoil's story "Journey to Benadir, Omalis and Bayoun", published in Le Tour du monde journal des voyages edited by Edouard Charton; this print serves as both documentation and artistry combined. It invites us to appreciate not only its botanical accuracy but also its ability to capture human experiences within a single frame. Leonard de Selva's photograph preserves this historical gem for future generations while reminding us of Africa's rich cultural heritage intertwined with trade and everyday life.
