Title:
Northwest Africa, Berber Prince and Princess,1797
Caption:
Prince et Princesse Maurea. Mauritania is a country in Northwest Africa. The ancient tribes of Mauritania were Berber people. In 1076, Moorish Islamic warrior monks attacked and conquered the large area of the ancient Ghana Empire. The Char Bouba war (1644-74) was the unsuccessful final effort of the peoples to repel the Yemeni Maqil Arab invaders. The invaders were led by the Beni Hassan tribe. The descendants of the Beni Hassan warriors became the upper stratum of Moorish society. Berbers retained a niche influence by producing the majority of the region's marabouts: those who preserve and teach Islamic tradition. Costumes of Different Countries, hand-tinted engraving by Labrousse, published by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, 1797.
