EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the picturesque view of N Dar and Pont de Guet in Saint-Louis, Senegal. The illustration, taken from Louis Leon Faidherbe's renowned work "Le Senegal" published in 1889, beautifully captures the essence of this historic city. Saint-Louis, also known as Ndar in Wolof language, holds great significance as it is the capital of Senegal's Saint-Louis Region. Its origins date back to 1659 when French traders established a settlement on the uninhabited island of Ndar. In honor of King Louis XIV of France, it was named Saint-Louis-du-Fort. The image depicts a scene that reflects both colonial and traditional elements.
