EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored woodcut print from the 1800s, we are transported to the heart of West Africa's Congo Valley. The image depicts an African native shaman invoking rain in a powerful ceremony. Standing tall and adorned with traditional garments, the shaman holds a spear high above his head as he fervently prays for relief from drought. The stormy sky overhead reflects the urgency of his ritual, while the lush green valley below yearns for water. With each chant and gesture, this holy man calls upon the rain god to bless their land once again. This vintage illustration offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when spirituality played an integral role in daily life.
