The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a dramatic shipwreck scene in Rufisque. The image transports us to a time when travel was arduous and treacherous, highlighting the perils faced by explorers venturing into uncharted territories. The crashing waves of the raz de maree (tidal wave) evoke a sense of awe and danger as they engulf the ill-fated vessel.
