EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of Llartifal Saukabe, the esteemed King of Kayor. Taken from the Receuil des Estampes, a publication depicting various ranks and dignities across nations in 1780, this hand-coloured engraving by Pierre Duflos is a true masterpiece. Kayor was initially established as a vassal state of Jolof but gained independence in 1549, eventually becoming an influential kingdom in West Africa. The image captures the essence of African culture and tradition through its depiction of elaborate robes and magnificent hats worn by King Llartifal Saukabe. The attention to detail in this ethnographic representation is remarkable. It offers us a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Senegal, where Kayor once thrived before being incorporated into French colonial rule in 1868. As we admire this piece from the Stapleton Collection, it becomes evident that it holds not only artistic value but also significant anthropological importance. This engraving serves as a testament to the diverse tapestry of human civilization and allows us to appreciate different customs and ways of life. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time to an era when kings ruled with grace and dignity. Immerse yourself in the splendorous world depicted within these lines—a world where power meets culture, tradition intertwines with royalty, and history unfolds before your eyes.
