This print showcases a remarkable casting of a former King of Benin, skillfully crafted by the talented natives of Benin City. The intricate details and artistry evident in this piece are truly awe-inspiring. It is believed that this exquisite casting was presented to Mr. Swanson, who served as the agent for Mr. James Pinnock from Liverpool, during his visit to the esteemed King of Benin. This gesture highlights the deep cultural significance and respect bestowed upon this artwork. The historical context surrounding this photograph adds another layer of intrigue and fascination. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage and royal traditions preserved within the city walls of Benin. While it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with this particular image, we can appreciate its value as an artifact representing both artistic mastery and diplomatic exchange between different cultures. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves standing before the regal figure depicted in bronze or clay—a symbol of power and authority that once ruled over the vibrant kingdom of Benin.
