EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning engraving of a Fennec, taken from the book "Journey to Nubia and Abyssinia undertaken to discover the sources of the Nile during the years 1768 to 1772" by James Bruce. Published in Paris in 1790, this volume is an invaluable historical artifact that sheds light on Bruce's exploration of Africa. The Fennec depicted here is a mesmerizing creature with its large ears and expressive eyes, embodying the essence of African wildlife. The image was captured by Leonard de Selva, who skillfully preserved every intricate detail of this engraving. The Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt holds this precious work within its collection. This particular print transports us back to the 18th century when explorers like Bruce embarked on daring expeditions to unravel the mysteries of Africa. As we gaze upon this enchanting depiction, we are reminded not only of the beauty and diversity found within African fauna but also of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and discovery. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity about distant lands and our relentless pursuit to uncover their secrets. Through this photograph, Leonard de Selva has immortalized both history and nature's wonders for generations to come. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished at home, it invites viewers into an extraordinary journey through time and space – one that captivates our imagination while honoring Africa's rich heritage.
