EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Zanzibar market in Tanzania. The image, an engraving by G. Vuillier, beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant African marketplace. In the foreground, a tepe boat stands as a symbol of trade and transportation, highlighting the importance of maritime commerce in Zanzibar's history. Merchants from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily business, showcasing their wares and engaging with customers. The scene is filled with energy and activity as people navigate through the market's narrow alleys, creating a sense of movement that draws our eyes deeper into the frame. The intricate details captured by Vuillier's skilled hand allow us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. This particular engraving was created to illustrate G. Revoil's story "Voyage among the Benadirs, Somalis and Bayouns" published in le tour du monde 1888 under Edouard Charton's direction. It serves as a visual representation of Revoil's exploration and provides viewers with a glimpse into an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to late 19th-century Zanzibar – where cultures collided, merchants thrived, and stories unfolded within these bustling markets on Africa’s eastern coast.
