This print showcases King Ahmadou presiding over a council or palabre of the Toucouleur empire in Segou Sikoro, Mali. The scene depicts a gathering of wise men and warriors, with the king himself holding a Muslim rosary in his hands. The composition exudes an air of authority and wisdom as the king takes center stage, surrounded by his trusted advisors. The intricate details captured by the unknown artist bring to life the rich cultural heritage and traditions of this historical moment. The setting is filled with anticipation and reverence as important matters are discussed and decisions are made. Each participant plays their role, contributing to the collective wisdom that guides the empire forward. Published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1868 Paris, this engraving serves as a valuable record of Lieutenant (Navy) M.
