EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Mungo Park's "Travels in the Interior of Africa," showcases the grandeur of King Ali's tent at Benowm, in the Kingdom of Ludamar, nestled amidst the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. The Moorish camp, with its distinctive Islamic architectural influences, is a striking contrast against the arid landscape. King Ali, dressed in regal attire, sits on a sumptuous black leather cushion, meticulously clipping the hairs on his upper lip in the mirror held by a female servant. The serene expression on his face reflects the calm and collected demeanor of a powerful ruler. In the background, a caravan of camels laden with goods can be seen, symbolizing the bustling trade activities that thrived in this part of Africa. The intricate details of the tent, from its ornate patterns to the delicate fringes, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Moors. The copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, hand-colored by Lazaretti, beautifully captures the essence of this moment in time, transporting us back to the 19th century and the fascinating world of African explorations.
