EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century plan depicts the residence of the King of Sines, located in the town of Joal, Senegambia. The complex, inhabited by the Fula people, includes various structures that catered to the royal court and daily life. At the entrance, A, is a circular wall, providing security for the palace. Inside, the courts B served as gathering places for the king's subjects. Connecting huts C linked various parts of the compound. The king's hut, D, was the central dwelling, while huts E housed the wives. F was the reception area, where visitors were welcomed, and G was the dining area. Huts for servants, I, were situated nearby. Surrounding the palace were plantations, where crops such as cotton, Indian corn, and maize were grown. The Fula people, also known as the Fulani, Peul, or Fulaw, were primarily pastoralists, and their cattle were an essential part of their livelihood. Marabouts, spiritual leaders, resided in huts I, playing a significant role in the community's religious and social life. This detailed plan, created using stipple and copperplate engraving techniques, was produced during the era of European exploration and travel. It was illustrated by Thomas Astley and published in Frederic Shoberl's "New General Collection of Voyages and Travels," providing valuable insight into the manners, customs, and daily life of the Moorish people of the Sahara and West Africa during the 18th century.
