With Major Lothaire on the Congo
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithographic print that takes us back to the heart of Africa in the late 19th century. The image, created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, transports us to an intriguing moment in time. In this scene, we find Major Lothaire amidst curious circumstances. Surrounded by tribal natives, he sits at a makeshift table set up in an African interior. It is midday mealtime, and everyone seems engaged in lively conversation as they enjoy their chop time together. The military presence is evident through Major Lothaire's uniform and his commanding presence. His role on the Congo becomes apparent as we observe salt being passed around - perhaps a valuable commodity during those times. Dadd's attention to detail shines through in this engraving; every aspect of the scene has been meticulously captured. From the expressions on each face to the intricate patterns adorning clothing and decor, it is clear that Dadd wanted viewers to immerse themselves fully into this distant world. This lithograph offers us a glimpse into history - not just of Africa but also of colonialism and exploration during that era. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across continents and centuries, allowing us to witness moments frozen in time with vivid clarity.
