Plate 42 from Jules Ferrario's renowned work, Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, beautifully captures the regal presence of Don Alvaro as he sits upon his majestic throne. Engraved by A. Biasioli and published in the early 19th century, this color lithograph showcases Bottigella's exceptional talent. In this remarkable portrait, Don Alvaro is depicted surrounded by petitioners who kneel before him with torches held high. The scene exudes an air of reverence and respect as members of his tribe seek audience with their esteemed ruler. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Congo during the 17th century.
