EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting village of Combo-Combo in Central Africa, as captured by the Spanish School in 1888. The image, taken from the renowned publication "Africa Pintoresca" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this rural community. The circular fence that encloses Combo-Combo's compound immediately draws our attention. This protective barrier symbolizes unity and communal living within this close-knit society. Inside, we are greeted by an array of traditional huts with conical straw rooftops that dot the landscape like miniature mountains. These humble dwellings serve as a testament to the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of its inhabitants. As we explore further, we can almost feel ourselves being transported into another era - one where time seems to stand still amidst nature's embrace. The tranquil countryside surrounding Combo-Combo exudes serenity and simplicity, reminding us of the beauty found in untouched landscapes. This monochrome masterpiece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection to nature and each other. It invites us to reflect on our own communities and appreciate their unique qualities. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this engraving allows us to embark on an imaginative journey through history while celebrating the resilience and spirit of African culture.
