EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph captures the bodyguard of the Sheikh of Bornu in Chad, Nigeria, as depicted in Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's "Galerie complete en tableaux fideles des peuples d'Afrique." The mounted bodyguard is clad in chain-mail armor and a turban, exuding strength and authority as he carries a spear. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the people of Africa during the early 19th century.
The hand-colored lithograph showcases intricate details and vibrant colors, bringing to life the essence of this historical figure who served as protector to the esteemed Sheikh. The Meissen edition from 1835-1840 adds to the authenticity and charm of this piece, making it a valuable addition to any collection or study of African art and history.
Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a testament to the craftsmanship and skill of both Goedsche as an artist and those who meticulously hand-colored each print. It serves as a reminder of the diverse cultures that have shaped Africa's identity over centuries, leaving behind legacies that continue to inspire us today.
