EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during an armed expedition in Central Africa, led by Sir Samuel White Baker between 1869 and 1873. The image depicts the intense attack on the headquarters of Ismailia in Egypt by a coalition of baris and loquias wielding traditional weapons such as bows and arrows. However, Sir Baker's expedition retaliates with modern rifles, successfully repelling the attackers. The engraving showcases the clash between ancient traditions and modern weaponry, symbolizing the struggle for control over trade routes in Africa at that time. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1875, edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette edition in Paris, this artwork provides a glimpse into an era when European powers sought to suppress what was known as the black trade. The unknown artist skillfully portrays both sides of this conflict through intricate details and dramatic composition. The tension is palpable as arrows fly through the air while smoke billows from rifle barrels. This historical artifact now resides within a private collection but remains accessible to all who appreciate its significance. Leonard de Selva's expert photography ensures that every nuance of this remarkable engraving is captured with precision. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the complex history surrounding colonial expeditions and their impact on African societies.
