EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment in the life of King Ali, ruler of the Kingdom of Ludamar, as he sits inside his lavish Moorish tent at Benowm. The scene is one of opulence and luxury, with Ali reclining on a black leather cushion while meticulously grooming his upper lip. A female servant stands by attentively holding a mirror for him.
The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the exoticism and grandeur of African royalty during Mungo Park's travels in the interior of Africa. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by dell'Acqua, skillfully brought to life by Lazaretti, showcases the richness and vibrancy of this historical moment.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where kings ruled with authority and grace. The ornate decorations adorning King Ali's tent speak to a culture steeped in tradition and elegance.
This print serves as a window into a world that is both foreign and familiar, inviting us to marvel at the beauty and complexity of African history. It is a reminder that even in far-off lands, human experiences such as grooming rituals can connect us across time and space.
