EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing African Zenega traders engaging in bartering with European explorers during the 17th century. The artwork, created by renowned Scottish cartographer John Ogilby, is part of his monumental atlas "Africa" published in 1670. With meticulous detail and precision, this engraving depicts the exchange between traders from the African Kingdom of Cayor and European merchants at Cap-Vert (now Senegal). In this scene, we witness an intriguing cultural encounter as brandy is traded for water. The local Zenega people are portrayed elegantly with their parasols, while the merchants stand beside barrels filled with supplies. This monochrome illustration offers a glimpse into West Africa's rich history and its intricate web of trade routes. The collaboration between Ogilby and Dutch artist Jacob van Meurs brings to life the ethnographic aspects of Africa's diverse indigenous communities. It serves as an invaluable resource for anthropologists and historians interested in understanding the regions' peoples and cultures during that era. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured this historical artwork through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its significance even today. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to a time when exploration was paramount and intercultural exchanges shaped our world's narrative.
