EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts a group of Natives of Guinea, Africa, dressed in traditional attire. The men are shown wearing only loincloths, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. They carry spears as weapons and wear hats adorned with feathers, adding to their regal appearance. The women, dressed in similar loincloths, wear necklaces made of beads and shells. The background shows a lush, tropical landscape with palm trees and a clear, blue sky. This image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, a comprehensive ethnographic work published in Meissen, Germany, between 1835 and 1840. Goedsche's gallery aimed to document the diverse customs, costumes, and physical characteristics of various ethnic groups around the world. This particular plate highlights the people of Guinea, located on the west coast of Africa. The attention to detail in this handcolored lithograph is remarkable, with each figure and object rendered with great care. The use of vibrant colors adds to the visual appeal and authenticity of the image. The plate provides a glimpse into the lives of the people of Guinea during this time period, offering valuable insights into their culture and history. Anthropology and ethnography were emerging fields during the 19th century, and works like Goedsche's Complete Gallery played a significant role in documenting and preserving the diverse cultures and traditions of the world. This image serves as an important historical record and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the people of Guinea and Africa as a whole.
