EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Mohamed Salek, known as Doud Moura, the Sultan of Ouadai in Fort Lamy. Taken during the Citroen Central Africa expedition's second mission led by Haardt Audouin-Dubreuil in 1927, this image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of West Africa. In this color lithograph by Alexander Yakovlev, we see Sultan Mohamed Salek exuding power and authority. His traditional attire and ornate headdress showcase his status as a revered leader. The intricate details on his garments reflect the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent in African culture. The backdrop of Fort Lamy adds an intriguing dimension to this portrait. Located in present-day N'Djamena, Chad, it was once a bustling trading post along the trans-Saharan trade route. This historical context further emphasizes Sultan Mohamed Salek's significance within both local and regional politics. The lion depicted alongside him symbolizes strength and courage – qualities befitting a ruler such as Sultan Mohamed Salek. It serves as a reminder that he is not just an ordinary man but someone who commands respect from both his people and adversaries alike. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration intertwined with cultural exchange. Through its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, it invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of African history while honoring one of its influential figures – Sultan Mohamed Salek dit Doud Moura
