EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "Moores trafficking gum (Mauritania or Senegambia)" takes us back to the year 1796. Created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a renowned French artist of his time, this print showcases the vibrant and diverse cultures found in Mauritania and Senegambia. In this scene, we witness Maures - African traders - embarking on a journey to trade gum. The composition is filled with intriguing elements that transport us to another era. A majestic camel stands tall as it carries its cargo across the arid landscape. Its rider, a Senegalese man dressed in traditional attire, exudes strength and resilience. The setting is equally enchanting; a river Gambia flows peacefully nearby while cows graze along its banks. This image captures not only the beauty of nature but also highlights the importance of animals in transportation during that period. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's attention to detail shines through every stroke of his engraving technique. From the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the expressions on their faces, he successfully brings these characters to life. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artwork offers us an invaluable glimpse into Africa's rich heritage and trading practices centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to educate viewers about different cultures
