EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases a Bornou Bodyguard from the entourage of the esteemed Sheikh of Bornou, taken in 1829. The Kanem-Bornu Empire, established in the 9th century by communities residing near Lake Chad, played a pivotal role in facilitating trade across the vast Sahara Desert. This remarkable engraving, skillfully created by Edward Finden based on a sketch by British explorer Dixon Denham, offers us a glimpse into an era of exploration and discovery. Denham and his companion Hugh Clapperton embarked on an arduous journey through Africa during the early 19th century with one ambitious goal: to uncover the source of the mighty River Niger. Along their treacherous path, they encountered this formidable mounted bodyguard – a symbol of power and protection within Bornou society. The image portrays an African warrior astride his majestic horse while brandishing his weapon with confidence. His stoic expression hints at both strength and wisdom acquired through years of service to his revered leader. The attention to detail captured in this photograph is truly mesmerizing; every line etched onto paper tells a story of resilience and cultural richness. Preserved for centuries, this historical artifact now resides within Hulton Archive's extensive collection. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also as testament to human curiosity and exploration that transcends borders. As we gaze upon this portrait print today, we are reminded of our shared heritage as global citizens united by our collective thirst for
