Mozambië / De Sahara 1894 - 1959

"Mozambique/De Sahara" is a 19th-century lithograph by A. de Ker, depicting scenes from Mozambique and the Sahara Desert. The top image shows a group of men in a canoe, spearing a hippopotamus in the water. The lower image features a group of men riding camels through the desert. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the 19th-century European imagination of these distant lands. It is an example of the popular genre of travel illustrations, often depicting the landscapes and people of far-off places.
