Drawn by Rene-Auguste Caillie, the first European visitor to this historic city in 1828, the illustration offers a glimpse into its rich cultural heritage and bustling trade. The image transports us to a vibrant African town nestled amidst the vast Sahara desert. With intricate details and vivid colors, Caillie's artwork brings to life the native architecture and busy streets of Timbuktu during that era. The city's significance as a center for commerce is evident through bustling marketplaces filled with merchants from various backgrounds.
