EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures a rare glimpse into the world of colonial Africa in the late 19th century. The image showcases a Congo, 2 Francs coin from the renowned series "Coins of All Nations" produced by Duke brand cigarettes in 1889. The lithograph, created with meticulous attention to detail and color, beautifully depicts King Leopold II of Belgium, who reigned as both king and ruler of the Congo Free State during this period. The striking black caricature on the coin reflects the prevailing attitudes towards African people at that time. It serves as a stark reminder of the era's imperialistic ambitions and exploitative practices associated with European colonization. Displayed prominently within this composition is an unidentified Congolese man holding a cigarette card featuring this very coin. His full-length figure exudes dignity despite being portrayed within a context laden with complex historical implications. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this chromolithograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon not only monetary systems but also broader themes such as power dynamics, finance, and cultural exchange between continents. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, it is essential to acknowledge its significance while considering how far we have come in terms of understanding and respecting diverse cultures worldwide.
