EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Young feticheur du GABON (animiste sorcerer) - Around Lake Jonanga, Gabon 1865" takes us back in time to the heart of Africa. Captured by Jules Worms in 1865, this image showcases a young animiste sorcerer from the Gabon region. The photograph portrays an intriguing blend of spirituality and tradition. The young feticheur, adorned with a traditional necklace and jewel, represents the religious role he plays within his community. His presence exudes an air of mysticism as he delves into the realms of witchcraft and occult science. Through this engraving, Worms offers us a glimpse into African civilization during that era. It serves as both an ethnographic study and a testament to the rich cultural heritage present in Gabon at that time. The photograph captures not only the physical features but also reflects upon the spiritual essence of its subject. Jaime Abecasis has skillfully preserved this historical gem through his photography expertise, allowing us to appreciate it today.
