The Sultan of Zemio, 1898 - A Glimpse into Central African Royalty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print, titled "The Sultan of Zemio, 1898" offers a rare and fascinating insight into the world of Central African royalty. Captured by Albert Ernest Augustin Baratier during his time as Second-in-Command on the Mission Marchand in 1898, this illustration is based on an original photograph taken by Baratier himself. The central figure in the image is none other than the esteemed Sultan of Zemio, who reigned over the Voungara-Zande kingdom from approximately 1872 to 1912. The sultan's regal presence is undeniable as he stands tall and dignified alongside what is likely his son and successor, Zemio-Mbomou. Baratier's composition skillfully captures not only their physical features but also hints at their powerful lineage and cultural significance. The intricate details within this engraving allow us to appreciate the elaborate traditional attire worn by both father and son, reflecting their status within society. It is worth noting that shortly after this photograph was taken, French authorities suppressed the sultanate in 1923. This makes these historical records all the more valuable as they provide a glimpse into a world that has since been transformed. "The Sultan of Zemio" serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation. Through this litho print, we are transported back in
