EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the allegorical representation of Africa in a mesmerizing and intricate way. The woman is depicted lying on a blanket atop a lion and bushel of wheat, symbolizing strength, fertility, and abundance. In the background, hieroglyph-covered buildings and columns add an element of mystery and ancient civilization to the scene.
The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri beautifully brings out the details of this illustration originally created by Andrea Appiani for Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples in 1843. The combination of traditional African symbols with elements of antiquity creates a rich tapestry that speaks to the complexity and depth of African culture.
The image evokes a sense of tradition, history, and heritage that is deeply rooted in the land depicted. The woman represents not just herself but all women in Africa - strong, resilient, nurturing, and connected to nature.
Overall, this print is a powerful reminder of the beauty and diversity found within Africa's many cultures. It serves as both an homage to the past and a celebration of the present, showcasing the richness that comes from embracing one's roots.
