EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, taken from Robert Brown's book "The Countries of the World" published in 1890, offers a glimpse into the lives of Senegalese people during the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of indigenous men dressed in traditional costumes, mounted on horses and armed with weapons such as guns and spears. These horsemen exude strength and pride as they navigate their way through the rugged terrain of Senegal. Their attire reflects their cultural heritage, with intricately designed clothes and hats that symbolize their identity within this West African country. As we observe this scene, it becomes evident that religion plays an important role in these individuals' lives. Many are followers of Islam, as indicated by their Islamic dress and references to marabouts - religious leaders who hold significant influence within local communities. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print also serves as a historical document capturing a moment in time when warfare was prevalent across Africa. The presence of weaponry suggests that these horsemen were not only skilled riders but also warriors defending their land against potential threats. Through Robert Brown's lens, we gain insight into the rich culture and resilience exhibited by Senegalese people during this era. This engraving stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of these individuals amidst challenging circumstances on the African continent.
