EDITORS COMMENTS
The King of Darfur, portrayed in a captivating 19th-century print, is captured planting corn with great care and reverence. This image showcases the deep connection between royalty and agriculture, symbolizing the king's commitment to his people's sustenance and prosperity. In another striking scene depicted in this historical artwork, we witness the solemn moment when the King of Bornu stands over the lifeless body of his predecessor. The weight of responsibility and succession is palpable as he assumes his role as leader, carrying on the legacy left behind by those who came before him. Accompanying these powerful portrayals is a breathtaking view of Timbuktu, Mali. The cityscape reveals its ancient charm and architectural wonders that have captivated travelers for centuries. Its rich history as a center for trade and learning shines through every intricate detail captured in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. This remarkable print from Rev. Isaac Taylor's 'Scenes in Africa' offers not only amusement but also valuable insights into African culture and history. It serves as an educational tool for young adventurers at home while igniting their curiosity about distant lands.
