EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Pahouin man from Gabon, Central Africa, proudly poses for the camera in the 1910s. Hailing from the coastal region of Gabon, this indigenous people group, also known as the Fang or Pahouins, have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply rooted in their traditional practices and distinctive attire. The man's intricately designed necklace, made of beads and shells, is a striking feature of his appearance. The necklace, adorned with a central torc and flanked by smaller strands, is a symbol of his status and identity within his community. The man's pierced nose, adorned with a spiked ornament, adds to his regal appearance. The man's hat, which is shaped like a bell and adorned with a punk or a spike, is a common accessory among the Pahouin people. This hat, known as a "mbuki-mvuki," is believed to protect the wearer from the sun and the elements. The man's chest is adorned with chains, adding to his imposing presence. Despite the passage of time and the influence of modernity, the Pahouin people have continued to preserve their traditional practices and attire. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Pahouin people and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of Central African cultures. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the unique and fascinating world of the Pahouin people from Gabon, Central Africa.
