EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant city of Benin in 1686, located in present-day Nigeria, West Africa. The image showcases a grand procession led by none other than the King of Benin himself. As he gracefully rides on horseback, surrounded by a troupe of musicians and skilled horsemen, one can't help but be enthralled by the regal aura that emanates from this scene. The palace of Benin City serves as the backdrop for this majestic display of power and culture. The architecture stands tall and proud, reflecting the rich history and heritage of this African kingdom. The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow upon the city's exterior, adding an enchanting touch to an already mesmerizing sight. The rhythmic beat of drums fills the air as musicians march alongside their king. Their melodies echo through every street corner, creating an atmosphere filled with energy and excitement. This procession is not only a celebration but also a symbol of unity within this diverse country. Through this exquisite line engraving from Dopper's Description d'Afrique published in Amsterdam in 1686, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion unfold before our eyes. It is a testament to Africa's rich cultural tapestry and reminds us of its significant contributions to world history.
