EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mysterious world of 19th-century Gabon. The image depicts a feticheur, a sorcerer with the ability to harness the magical power of fetiches. Drawn by D. Maillart, this engraving was featured in "Le tour du monde" in 1878, directed by Edouard Charton. The feticheur's piercing gaze holds our attention as he stands adorned with intricate necklaces and bracelets, symbols of his connection to the occult science of witchcraft. His presence exudes an aura of ancient wisdom and supernatural abilities. As we delve into Alfred Marche's account of his journey through Gabon and along the Ogoue River between 1875-1877, this illustration serves as a visual representation of the mystical encounters he experienced during his expedition. The French School artist masterfully captures both the physicality and spirituality intertwined within African culture. The detailed depiction showcases not only the feticheur himself but also various instruments that play a significant role in their rituals. With its rich historical context and artistic finesse, this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection transports us to a time when superstition reigned supreme in Africa. It invites us to explore the enigmatic realm where human belief intersects with powerful forces beyond our comprehension.
