EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from the late 19th century. It depicts an author and traveler, just awakened from his slumber, being served coffee in his room by a young Haitian woman. The engraving, created by T. Wust, was intended to illustrate the story "La republique d Haiti" written by Edgar La Selve, a professor of rhetoric in Port au Prince. The image exudes a sense of exploration and adventure as the writer immerses himself in the culture of Haiti. The French influence is evident through the elegant portrayal of both characters. The young woman's graceful presence adds depth to this scene, highlighting her role as not only a server but also as a representative of her native land. The portrait beautifully captures the essence of literature and travel intertwined. It serves as an homage to female writers who have made significant contributions throughout history. This particular engraving is part of the Selva Collection and was published in Paris under Edouard Charton's direction for "Tour du Monde" magazine. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness this intimate moment between two individuals from different worlds coming together over coffee - symbolizing connection and shared experiences that transcend cultural boundaries.
