EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the African Zenega people, a group of individuals originating from Berber descent in the 17th century. The artwork depicts their traditional clothing and offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. As depicted by London-based Scottish cartographer John Ogilby, this engraving is part of his comprehensive atlas titled "Africa" published in 1670. The image portrays a black male chief or leader walking confidently, carrying a weapon and conversing with others while being shaded by an elegant parasol. Accompanying him are local females, including a woman holding an infant and another child nearby. The historical significance of this illustration lies in its representation of indigenous African tribes during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures the intricate robes worn by these individuals along with their weaponry such as swords and spears. It also highlights elements of daily life, including the presence of food like pineapples and fruits carried by some members. This print not only serves as an anthropological treasure but also provides insight into West African culture at that time. It pays homage to the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting Senegal's region known as Cayor. Todd-White Art Photography has skillfully captured this monochrome artwork from John Ogilby's atlas, ensuring its preservation for generations to come.
