EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and powerful print captures a moment in history that is both fascinating and disturbing. In 1737, a king from Guinea passed away, and according to custom, he was buried surrounded by the heads of those who had served him in life so that they may continue to serve him in death.
The image is a stark reminder of the sacrifices made in the name of tradition and power. The faces of the deceased servants are frozen in expressions of eternal loyalty, their eyes seeming to follow you as you gaze upon them. It is a chilling sight that speaks volumes about the beliefs and practices of this time period.
This photograph serves as a window into a world where human life was valued differently, where customs dictated actions that may seem barbaric by today's standards. It forces us to confront our own perceptions of history and question how far we have come as a society.
As we reflect on this piece of historical significance, we are reminded that while times have changed, there are still remnants of these customs present in various cultures around the world. It is important to remember our past so that we can strive for a more compassionate future for all humanity.
