EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Freetown, Sierra Leone. The detailed illustration, based on a drawing by A. de Bar, showcases the vibrant architecture and military presence of this African city in 1868. The image is part of Vice Admiral Fleuriot de Langles' voyage to the Côte d'Afrique, which was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1873. Edited by Edouard Charton and released by Hachette edition in Paris, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into different corners of the world during that era. In this particular scene, we see a busy street lined with barracks and buildings that exude character and history. The architectural details are beautifully captured through Alexandre de Bar's skilled engraving technique. As we explore this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that Freetown was an important hub for both military operations and daily life activities. The presence of soldiers adds an intriguing layer to the composition, hinting at the historical context surrounding Sierra Leone at that time. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly preserves this remarkable piece of art from his private collection. It allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also provides valuable insights into African history and culture during the late 19th century.
