EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Antonio Sasso, taken from Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World, published in Florence, Italy in 1843, offers a glimpse into the traditional wedding ceremony among the natives of Ndor in Saint-Louis, Senegal. The image showcases the rich cultural heritage of Africa, with the bride, adorned in a veil, being led by a Griot, a respected musical storyteller and historian, as she makes her way to her new home. Surrounding them, guests enthusiastically dance, immersed in the joyous occasion. The hut in the background, with its thatched roof and intricate decorations, serves as the backdrop for this heartfelt celebration. The meticulous detail in Sasso's engraving brings the scene to life, allowing us to experience a moment in time from the past. This illustration is a testament to the enduring beauty and diversity of human traditions, offering a window into the world of the Ndor people and their unique wedding customs.
