EDITORS COMMENTS
Fulier Village in Senegal: A Snapshot of Traditional Life in the 19th Century This handcolored lithograph, part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of the Fulier community in Senegal during the 1830s. The image showcases a picturesque village scene, with rows of huts arranged in a neat and orderly fashion, surrounded by a corral where cattle graze peacefully. The Fulier people, also known as the Fula or Peul, are an ethnic group primarily residing in West Africa, with significant populations in Senegal, Guinea, Mali, and other neighboring countries. This community is renowned for its semi-nomadic lifestyle, with a strong emphasis on cattle herding and agriculture. The huts in the image are constructed from locally sourced materials such as mud, thatch, and wood. The corral, a common feature in Fulier villages, serves as both a protective barrier against wild animals and a communal space for social gatherings and community activities. The Fulier people are known for their distinctive clothing, which includes long, flowing robes for men and colorful wraps for women. In this image, the villagers are depicted wearing traditional attire, adding to the authenticity of the scene. This ethnographic record is an invaluable historical resource, providing insight into the customs, costumes, and daily life of the Fulier community in Senegal during the 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring and intricate detail of the lithograph further enhance its aesthetic appeal and historical significance.
