EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Sayyid Barghash Bin Said, the Sultan of Zanzibar in 1875. With his majestic headdress and impressive beard, he exudes power and authority. As the ruler of Zanzibar from 1870 to 1888, Barghash bin Said played a crucial role in shaping the infrastructure of Stone Town, leaving behind a lasting legacy. During his reign, Zanzibar experienced true independence from European control, making it an important period in the country's history. This portrait serves as a reminder of that era when Zanzibar thrived under its own rule. The engraving beautifully showcases Sayyid Barghash Bin Said's strong features and dignified expression. It highlights not only his position as a sultan but also his religious affiliation as a devout Muslim. The image offers us a glimpse into African royalty during the late 19th century. As we admire this historical photograph, we are transported back to an era where men like Sayyid Barghash Bin Said held immense influence over their people and lands. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in capturing such moments and gain insight into significant figures who shaped our world centuries ago.
