EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Human sacrifices in Africa, c. 1900" takes us back to a significant era in African history. The illustration, created by G. Dascher in the 19th century, vividly portrays an unsettling scene of human sacrifices taking place in Cana, Dahomey (present-day Benin). The image captures the viewer's attention with its striking colors and intricate details that bring this historic event to life. It serves as a powerful reminder of the religious practices that were prevalent during this time period in Africa. Intriguingly, the photograph offers a glimpse into a world far removed from our own, shedding light on cultural beliefs and rituals that may be unfamiliar to many today. It prompts contemplation about the complexities of religion and its influence on societies throughout history. While it is important to approach such images with sensitivity and respect for their historical context, they also provide an opportunity for reflection and understanding. This particular artwork allows us to delve into Africa's rich past and explore how religion played a role in shaping communities during this era. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both the beauty and complexity found within humanity's diverse cultural tapestry across different periods of time.
