EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1912 in the Lagos hinterland of Southern Nigeria. The image showcases a skilled Yoruba man engrossed in his craft, delicately engraving intricate patterns onto clay bowls and water jars. His focused expression reveals the dedication and expertise he possesses as he meticulously works on each piece. The artist behind this remarkable snapshot is AW Gelston, who beautifully captures the essence of African culture and craftsmanship. Gelston's work can be found in "The Living Races of Mankind, Vol. II" published by Hutchinson & Co in London. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness not only a man at work but also a glimpse into the rich heritage and traditions of Nigeria. The Yoruba people have long been known for their exceptional pottery skills, passed down through generations. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this portrait, highlighting both the historical significance and artistic beauty within it. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of the importance of preserving cultural practices that have shaped our world. Thanks to The Print Collector for bringing us closer to West African ethnography with this extraordinary portrayal of a Yoruba craftsman immersed in his artistry.
