EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of the head of the Queen Mother of Benin, also known as Iyoba. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship bring this traditional African sculpture to life, capturing the essence of indigenous culture and African heritage. In a stunning juxtaposition, the regal female likeness is positioned in front of a map of Africa, symbolizing both her significance within Benin's history and her connection to the broader continent. This artistic choice highlights not only her royal status but also emphasizes the importance of geography and physical location in understanding cultural traditions. The use of pen and ink combined with watercolor painting techniques adds depth and vibrancy to this studio shot. Against a clean white background, every line and brushstroke becomes more pronounced, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry behind this remarkable piece. Dorling Kindersley has masterfully captured tradition through color imagery in this print.
