EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a warrior from the Cap Verde Islands, as depicted in the "History of Travels" publication. Created by Pierre Duflos in 1780, this hand-coloured engraving offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and military prowess of these African islands. The warrior's formidable presence is immediately evident as he stands tall, adorned with an impressive suit of armor. His sword glistens under the light, ready to defend his land and people against any threat. A striking helmet rests on his head, adding an air of authority and strength to his appearance. Every detail in this print tells a story - from the intricate costume embellishments to the accessories that adorn him. The inclusion of spectacles adds an unexpected touch, hinting at intelligence and wisdom beneath his fierce exterior. His weapons are carefully chosen for battle: a firearm slung over his shoulder alongside a rifle held firmly in one hand. A sturdy shield completes his ensemble, emphasizing both protection and offense. Beyond being just a portrayal of power and might, this image also challenges stereotypes by showcasing an African warrior who defies expectations. With its meticulous engravings and vibrant colors, this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of strength combined with intellectual curiosity – truly embodying the spirit of resilience found within Cap Verdean culture.
