EDITORS COMMENTS
Coiffures of Bambara Women: A Journey from the Senegal to the Niger," captured in this 19th century photograph, showcases the intricate and distinctive hairstyles of Bambara women from the Mande people of Mali, West Africa. The image is taken from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The young Bambara women in the photograph are adorned with elaborate hairstyles, featuring braids and plaits that are skillfully woven and adorned with various forms of jewelry. Some women wear nose rings, adding to their regal appearance. Their hairdos are not only a reflection of their cultural identity but also a symbol of their status and beauty. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the Bambara people, who inhabited the region between the Senegal and Niger rivers in West Africa. The image was captured during the 1870s, a time when European explorers and travelers were documenting their journeys through Africa, often with a focus on the indigenous people and their customs. The photographer remains unknown, but the image is a valuable addition to the historical record of African arts and culture. The hairstyles of the Bambara women in this photograph continue to inspire contemporary hairdressing and fashion, highlighting the enduring influence of African cultural traditions. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and resilience of the Bambara people and their connection to their land and traditions. It invites us to appreciate the richness and diversity of African arts and culture, and to recognize the importance of preserving and celebrating the heritage of indigenous peoples around the world.
