EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in the rich history of central Africa. The image features Commoro, chief of the Latooka tribe, a powerful figure who left an indelible mark on his people's heritage. Samuel Baker, a renowned explorer, encountered these Madi people during his expedition through this uncharted territory in 1864. The illustration showcases Commoro with an air of authority and wisdom. His regal presence is accentuated by his traditional African attire adorned with intricate patterns and symbols that reflect his tribal identity. Holding a shield and weapon, he exudes strength and courage as he protects his community from external threats. This archival photograph not only captures the essence of native African culture but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration during this era. It allows us to glimpse into the past when intrepid adventurers like Samuel Baker ventured into unknown lands in search of discovery. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of how interconnected our world truly is – bridging continents and cultures through shared experiences. This print serves as a window into an extraordinary moment in time when two worlds collided: that of Welsh-born Samuel Baker encountering the resilient Latooka tribe deep within central Africa's untamed wilderness.
