EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning engraving titled "Banana - in 'Journey to Nubia and Abyssinia undertaken to discover the sources of the Nile during the years 1768 to 1772'". Created by James Bruce, also known as Abyssinian Bruce, this artwork is featured in volume one of his renowned book published in Paris in 1790. The image captures an exquisite botanical representation of a banana tree, highlighting its significance within African natural history. The intricate details and delicate lines of the engraving bring forth the beauty and complexity of this tropical fruit tree. With its elongated leaves gracefully cascading downwards, it stands tall against a backdrop that evokes the enchanting landscapes of Egypt and Africa's Middle East. This piece serves as both an artistic marvel and a valuable historical document. Preserved within the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt, this rare photograph by Leonard de Selva offers viewers a glimpse into centuries past. It invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetic allure but also the scientific importance behind documenting various plants from different regions. As we admire this remarkable depiction, let us reflect on how exploration has shaped our understanding of nature throughout time. Through Bruce's adventurous journey along the Nile River, he unraveled mysteries about its source while capturing moments like these for generations to come.
