West Africa, Kingdom of Ardra Man,1797

Negre du Royaume d'Ardra. Negro of the Kingdom of Ardra. Great Ardra was a coastal West African kingdom in what is now southern Benin. It was named for its capital, the modern Allada, which was also the main city and major port of the realm. The city and kingdom were supposedly founded by a group of Aja migrants from Tado, a settlement along the Mono River, in the 12th or 13th century. Its kings ruled with the consent of the elders of the people. The state reached the peak of its power in the 16th and early 17th centuries, when it was an important source of slaves for the Atlantic trade. Costumes of Different Countries, hand-tinted engraving by Labrousse, published by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, 1797.
