EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness the grandeur and mystique of Guinea's ancient burial rituals. The image showcases a Burial Vault, meticulously adorned with intricate carvings and symbols that reflect the rich cultural heritage of this West African kingdom. The scene is steeped in religious significance, as it captures one of Guinea's revered kings being laid to rest amidst solemn ceremonies et coutumes religieuses (religious customs). The vault stands as a testament to the power and prestige held by these monarchs, serving not only as their final resting place but also as a symbol of their divine connection. Bernard Picart, an acclaimed engraver from the 17th century, masterfully brings this momentous occasion to life through his artistry. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of each ceremony and paying homage to les peuples du monde (the people of the world) who partake in similar practices. This remarkable engraving serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at both the artistic skill employed by Picart and gain insight into Guinea's vibrant past. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and learn from diverse cultures across our global community.
