EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of "Le Monde en prints ou Geography des cinq parts du monde" by the Chevalier de Roujoux, a French School publication from 1828. The image features four women representing the continents of Africa, Europe, America, and Asia. Each woman embodies the unique characteristics and cultural heritage of her respective continent. The composition is beautifully engraved with intricate details that highlight the diversity and richness found across these continents. From African patterns to European elegance, American vibrancy to Asian gracefulness, this artwork celebrates the global tapestry of humanity. Displayed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this photograph captures not only a piece of history but also symbolizes knowledge and exploration. It serves as a reminder that through geography and understanding different cultures, we can broaden our horizons and appreciate our shared human experience. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings out every nuance of this remarkable frontispiece. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era when explorers sought to map uncharted territories and understand distant lands. As we admire this work of art today, let us reflect on how far we have come in embracing diversity while recognizing that there is still much more progress to be made towards equality among all people around the world.
