EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the vibrant city of Saint-Louis, the capital of French establishments in Senegal. The image captures the essence of colonialism as it depicts a bustling African city with a blend of European architecture. The architectural beauty is evident in every corner, with grand buildings standing tall against the backdrop of palm trees and blue skies. The intricate details on these structures tell stories of a bygone era when France held its influence over this West African region. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported to a time when Senegal was at the heart of French colonial expansion. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities and consequences that came with such dominance. Through this lens, we catch glimpses of daily life in Saint-Louis - people going about their business, horses pulling carriages along cobblestone streets, and merchants selling their wares. It serves as a reminder that even amidst colonization, life continued for both locals and settlers alike. This remarkable piece from "Voyage et voyages au Senegal" allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also offers insight into an important chapter in history. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography ensures that this moment frozen in time continues to captivate viewers today.
