Edouard Auguste NOUSVEAUX (1811–1867) Attack on and burning of Cascar (70 leagues upstream from St. Louis, Senegal) by Senegalese troops and sailors from the Station under the command of Mr. E. Bouët, governor of Senegal and its dependencies, August 1843. Watercolor and gouache on paper, signed lower right, dated 1844, 38 x 55 cm (image size). On board the ship commanded by Bouët-Willaumez (the future admiral who explored the Senegal River and the Gulf of Guinea), the artist traveled along the coasts of Africa, particularly those of Senegal, during the reign of Louis-Philippe. Several works relating to these explorations are, in fact, illustrated by Nousveaux. Many of his works are housed in various French museums: a portrait of the Belle Poule at the Musée de la Marine, a view of Senegal and *Signare et serviteurs à Gorée* at the Quai Branly, *The Prince of Joinville Traveling to Brazil* at the Trianon, various views of Senegal at Chantilly and La Rochelle, etc.
