EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Guinea, Africa. The image depicts the Tomb of a Guinean king, surrounded by his loyal warriors, who stand guard with spears adorned with severed heads. The tomb itself is decorated with an array of offerings, including plates, urns, and more spears, all symbolizing the respect and reverence paid to the deceased monarch. In the background, more sacrifices are taking place, with men wielding shields and spears, preparing to offer more victims to the spirits of the dead. The use of human sacrifice was a common practice in many African cultures, believed to ensure the continuation of life and the favor of the gods. The huts and structures in the background add to the authenticity of the scene, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the Guinean people during this time period. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces of the warriors, make this a truly captivating and historically significant image.
