EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Fulup Man with Weapons and Mandingo Man in Robe and Turban," is an intriguing depiction of two distinct ethnic groups from the region of West Africa, specifically the Fulup and Mandingo peoples, as documented in Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published between 1835 and 1840. The Fulup man, dressed in a loincloth, adorned with gold legbands and armbands, and armed with quivers, spears, bow, and arrow, exudes a sense of strength and readiness. His beard, a common sign of maturity and virility among African men, frames his stern expression. The Fulup people, also known as the Fula or Fulani, are a large and influential ethnic group spread across West Africa and parts of the Sahel region. They are known for their pastoral lifestyle, with cattle herding being a significant part of their economy. In contrast, the Mandingo man, dressed in a flowing robe and wearing a turban, presents a more serene and regal appearance. The Mandingo people, also known as the Mandinka, are an ethnic group primarily found in the Senegal River Valley and the forested regions of Guinea, Mali, and Sierra Leone. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, with a strong emphasis on education and a complex social structure based on a caste system. This ethnographic image, taken from Goedsche's comprehensive collection, offers a glimpse into the diverse customs, costumes, and history of the peoples of West Africa during the 19th century. The intricate details captured in the handcolored lithograph, from the textures of the fabrics to the intricate patterns of the jewelry, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. This image is a valuable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Africa.
