EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Kol-quall (Kol quall), a unique species of euphorbia, commonly known as cactus. The image is taken from "Journey to Nubia and Abyssinia undertaken to discover the sources of the Nile during the years 1768 to 1772" by James Bruce, a renowned explorer. Published in Paris in 1790, this volume offers a glimpse into Bruce's remarkable expedition. The Kol-quall stands tall and proud against a backdrop of lush greenery, its intricate details beautifully captured by photographer Leonard de Selva. This botanical marvel is native to Africa and holds great significance in Egyptian culture. Its presence adds an exotic touch to any landscape it graces. The engraving exudes an air of natural history with its meticulous depiction of various plants surrounding the Kol-quall. It transports us back to the 18th century when explorers like Bruce ventured into uncharted territories, driven by their insatiable curiosity about distant lands. This particular photograph was sourced from the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt—a testament to its historical importance. As we admire this enchanting image today, let us appreciate both nature's wonders and those intrepid individuals who dedicated their lives to unraveling its mysteries.
