EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image print captures the regal figure of Noerlandese, King of Bussa, Bornese, adorned in intricate tree zest fabrics. The detailed depiction is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and sartorial traditions of the Kanuri people from Nigeria.
The image is part of a synoptic table titled "Prospectus of all races of the globe and their fogge di vestire", reflecting the nineteenth-century concept of race that has since been scientifically debunked. Despite its outdated terminology, this historical document provides valuable insights into human diversity and geographical distribution.
Noerlandese's dignified presence as the King of Bussa exudes authority and pride, showcasing the unique customs and clothing styles prevalent in his kingdom. The elaborate garments worn by him are a symbol of status and identity within his community.
Through this visual representation, viewers are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history, shedding light on colonialism, anthropology, and ethnoanthropology. The fusion of artistry and ethnographic documentation makes this image not just a piece of historical record but also an evocative portrayal of humanity's diverse expressions.
As we reflect on Noerlandese's portrait covered in tree zest fabrics, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding notions of race and ethnicity while appreciating the beauty found in cultural diversity across our shared planet.
