EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enchanting image of a Fula woman from Timbo, a town and sub-prefecture nestled in the heart of the Fouta Djallon highlands in Guinea. Dating back to approximately 1910, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this region, predominantly inhabited by the Fula people. The woman in the photograph is depicted in a traditional pose, with her chest bare and adorned with intricate beadwork. Her head is crowned with a magnificent trabe, a large, circular headdress made from interwoven strips of fabric, which adds an ethereal quality to her appearance. The trabe is a symbol of her Fula identity and is worn by married women as a mark of maturity and status. The Fula people, also known as the Foulah or Peul, are a large ethnic group spread across several West African countries. They are renowned for their semi-nomadic lifestyle, which has shaped their distinctive culture and traditions. The Fula people are primarily pastoralists, and their livestock, such as cattle and goats, are an integral part of their daily life. This photograph was taken in the Mamou Prefecture, in the Mamou Region of Guinea, and serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and beauty of the Fula people and their traditions. The Fouta Djallon highlands, with their lush greenery and rolling hills, provide a stunning backdrop to this image, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Africa.
