EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print captures the regal presence of King Bell, Chief Ndumba Lobe, during the 1890s in West Africa. Taken by a German photographer from the 19th century, this photograph showcases the colonial era and offers a glimpse into the chieftain's life in Cameroon under German Empire rule. In this portrait, Chief Ndumba Lobe is seated with an air of authority and dignity. His three-quarter length pose allows us to appreciate his traditional attire and intricate accessories that symbolize his status as a leader. The black and white composition adds depth to the image, emphasizing both his powerful presence and timeless significance. The print measures 19x13 cm and belongs to a private collection. It was originally part of a German album titled S. M. S. Sperber, which documented West Africa in 1895/6. This historical context further enhances our understanding of this remarkable visual record. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in African history. The copyspace surrounding King Bell invites us to reflect on his legacy while leaving room for interpretation and contemplation. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder, we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece of art that preserves not only cultural heritage but also sheds light on early photography practices during colonial times.
