EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "King of Brass, Nigeria, c. 1875" takes us back in time to the rich cultural heritage of West Africa. The image showcases a powerful Nigerian ruler adorned in regal attire and exuding an air of authority. The king's full-length portrait captures his commanding presence as he stands tall with a cane in hand. His elaborate hat adds a touch of grandeur to his ensemble, symbolizing his status and leadership within the community. The backdrop chosen for this studio shot further emphasizes the importance and significance of this royal figure. Photographed by Francis W. Joaque around 1875 using the albumen print technique, this historical artifact provides us with a rare glimpse into Nigeria's past. Preserved within a private collection now owned by eMichael Graham-Stewart, it serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and documentation capabilities prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by African rulers like him who played pivotal roles in shaping their respective societies. This photograph not only immortalizes an individual but also celebrates African culture and its vibrant history through visual storytelling at its finest.
