Among the Cannibals - A Glimpse into Africa's Dark Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, titled "Among the Cannibals" takes us on a journey back to early 20th century Central Africa. Created by an anonymous American School artist, this thought-provoking illustration was originally featured in Charles F Horne's book, "The World and its People". Transporting us to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak, this lithograph sheds light on the lesser-known aspects of African culture during that era. The image showcases a group of Africans engaged in anthropophagy - cannibalism - which was practiced by certain tribes. With meticulous attention to detail, the artist skillfully captures both the physicality and emotions of these individuals. Their expressions range from curiosity to apprehension as they engage in this ancient ritualistic act. It serves as a reminder that human history is complex and diverse. Displayed against a stark black background, this powerful lithograph invites viewers to contemplate not only the geographical landscapes but also the intricacies of human behavior across different cultures. Now preserved within a private collection, this print offers us an opportunity for reflection and understanding. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our shared humanity while acknowledging how far we have come since those times. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this significant piece remains accessible for art enthusiasts worldwide who seek insight into our collective past without commercial intent.
