Title
Coucher de soleil sur le fleuve Zambèze depuis la savane
Description
Français : Arrivé en Afrique australe en 1857 et soutenu par la Société des missions évangéliques de Paris, le missionnaire protestant François Coillard, plus tard surnommé le « Livingstone français », découvre les rives du Zambèze le 1er août 1878 : « …pour la première fois, nous contemplâmes le cours majestueux du Zambèze, avec ses rives et ses îlots couverts de forêts que dominent […] les baobabs et les palmiers ». Le souvenir de Livingstone, premier Européen à contempler les chutes Victoria en 1855 est partout. Coillard, qui est vu par les autochtones comme son successeur, fait acte d’humilité : « C’est ainsi qu’on chausse au premier missionnaire venu les bottes de ce géant ». Ce cartonnage d’éditeur fait appel aux ressorts de l’exotisme et du dépaysement pour éveiller chez le lecteur européen rêve et curiosité pour un continent dont le vide des cartes finit de se combler. - Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon, mis en ligne sur Numelyo
