EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Tibbo Man with Musket Leading a Camel Laden," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the early 19th century. It is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen between 1835 and 1840. The image depicts a man of the Tibbo tribe, dressed in traditional attire, leading a camel laden with various items. The man holds a musket in one hand, demonstrating his readiness for defense. The camel, adorned with a saddle and blankets, carries an array of goods, including what appears to be food supplies and other essentials for travel. The intricate details of this lithograph are truly remarkable. The man's clothing, consisting of a long robe and a headdress, is richly decorated with patterns and textures, reflecting the unique cultural traditions of the Tibbo people. The camel, too, is meticulously rendered, with every wrinkle and hump accurately depicted. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Tibbo people during this time period. It provides valuable insights into their customs, costumes, and the tools they used for transportation and defense. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of detail and beauty to the print, making it a true work of art. The Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures was a groundbreaking ethnographic publication that aimed to document the diverse peoples and cultures of the world. This particular image is a testament to the accuracy and detail with which Goedsche and his team captured the essence of the Tibbo people and their way of life. It remains an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology, history, and cultural studies today.
