Blaise Bonnevide
Wife of the Serigne Ndakarou
1870-1878
Albumen print
Private collection of Patricia Hickling
LL/104675
The photo album from which this photograph was removed belonged to a French sailor who labelled this photograph with the ludicrous title "Reine de Dakar" and it is assumed it depicts a wife of the Serigne Ndakarou. This is the only example of this photograph yet discovered.
