EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Attah, from Picturesque Views on the River Niger" takes us back to 1832-33 when Richard Lemon Landers sketched this remarkable scene during his last visit. The print showcases the ruler of the Igala people in Nigeria, known as The Attah. In Igala culture, the word Attah holds great significance as it translates to "Father" symbolizing his role as a paternal figure for his people. The image portrays The Attah seated on an ornate throne under a parasol, exuding authority and regality. Dressed in traditional attire befitting his status, he commands attention with grace and dignity. Surrounding him is his family and court members adorned in their vibrant ethnic costumes. This lithograph not only captures the physical appearance of The Attah but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Igala kingdom. It offers a glimpse into their customs, traditions, and social structure. Charles Haghe's artistic talent brings this historical moment to life with meticulous detail and precision. Through this artwork, we are transported to West Africa's shores where the Niger and Benue Rivers meet – a place where history unfolds. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection today, let us appreciate its contribution to our understanding of African history and celebrate the resilience and diversity of cultures across our world.
