EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures King Archibong III of Calabar, Gambia, West Africa, in his regal attire during his coronation in approximately 1878. At the time, Calabar was part of the British Empire, and the regalia sent for the coronation was a gift from Queen Victoria herself. King Archibong III, an influential ruler and leader among the people of Calabar, sits confidently on his throne, holding both the sceptre and the crown. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of the African continent during the late 19th century. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, provides a fascinating insight into the racial and social dynamics of the time. The image of a powerful African king, dressed in traditional attire yet seated on a European-style throne, challenges the stereotypical portrayals of African men during this era. The photograph is a testament to the complexities and nuances of the African experience, as well as the enduring legacy of African royalty and leadership. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on a time when the world was undergoing significant political and social changes. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of the past and the ongoing importance of recognizing and celebrating the diversity of human experiences.
