EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'L'escorte du lamido Rey Bouba, le plus grand roi noir du Cameroun et l'un des meilleurs collaborateurs de la France: porteurs de boucliers et hommes d'armes revêtus d'authentiques armures moyenâgeuses' (The Escort of King Rey Bouba, the greatest Black King of Cameroon and one of the best French collaborators: bearers of shields and armed men dressed in authentic medieval armor), was published in 'Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916' (Collection IV of the War. The Illustration Volume CXLVII. The War July, August, September, October, November, December 1916). The image captures a grand procession of the Cameroonian monarch, Rey Bouba, and his royal escort during the Kamerun Campaign of World War I. Dressed in traditional African attire, Rey Bouba is seen atop a magnificent horse, while his men, clad in medieval-style armor, follow closely behind, carrying shields and weapons. The print, which dates back to 1916, offers a unique glimpse into the fusion of African and European influences during this period of history. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Cameroon and its people, as well as the complexities of the colonial era. Despite the unidentified creator, this photograph print remains an invaluable historical record and a captivating work of art.
