EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "In Lera (or Dera, Niger), types of Mandes" takes us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront. Engraved by Riou, this image was used to illustrate Captain Louis Gustave Binger's story "From Niger to the Gulf of Guinee" in 1887-1889. The photograph showcases a village scene in Lera (or Dera), Niger, capturing the diverse population of Mandes. The native people are depicted with great detail and authenticity, showcasing their unique features and traditional clothing. Each individual seems to have their own story etched on their faces, reflecting both resilience and wisdom. The composition is enhanced by the presence of hats worn by some individuals, adding an element of cultural significance. The simplicity of the setting allows for focus on the people themselves - their expressions speak volumes about their way of life. This historical engraving offers a glimpse into a world that existed over a century ago but still holds relevance today. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across different cultures and continents. Preserved in private collection since its publication in Le tour du monde journal des voyages under Edouard Charton's direction, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Leonard de Selva's photography has ensured that this moment frozen in time remains accessible for all to appreciate.
