EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a commercial display of ivory defenses in the village of Tippo Tip (Hamed bin Mohammed el Marjebi) in Congo, circa 1880. The colorized engraving from the 19th century showcases the ivory being displayed at Tippu Tib's camp on the Congo, giving us a glimpse into the bustling trade that took place during that time. The image is rich with detail, showing merchants and vendors engaging in negotiations over the precious ivory tusks. Women can be seen observing the scene, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of commerce and human interaction. The costumes worn by those present provide insight into the cultural diversity of Africa during this period. The hand-colored woodcut illustration beautifully brings to life this historical moment, highlighting both the beauty and complexity of trade in colonial Africa. The presence of nudity among some individuals serves as a reminder of how different societal norms were back then compared to today. Overall, this print offers a fascinating look into a significant aspect of African history - one that shaped economies and societies for generations to come. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and invites reflection on how far we have come since those days.
