EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of cultural exploration in West Africa during the 1820s and 30s. The image showcases natives skillfully climbing towering palm trees using sling halters around their hips, showcasing their impressive agility and resourcefulness. The vibrant color lithograph, created by an anonymous Italian School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the customs and costumes of these African tribes. This particular artwork is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned publication "Il costume antico e moderno" specifically featured in Volume II on Plate 19 dedicated to Senegal & Gambia. The scene depicted here not only highlights the physical act of climbing but also provides valuable ethnographic insights into the native culture. It serves as a testament to the rich traditions and unique practices found within this region. As we admire this piece from The Stapleton Collection, it is important to appreciate its historical significance while recognizing that it falls under public domain due to its age. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable artwork accessible for all to enjoy without any commercial implications. In essence, this print invites us on a visual journey through time and space, offering glimpses into an era when exploration was intertwined with artistic documentation – forever preserving moments like these for generations to come.
