This is a lithograph from a series of trading cards produced by William S. Kimball & Company in 1888. It depicts Dabularzi, the brother of King Cetewayo, a Zulu King. The card is a part of the series titled "Savage and Semi-Barbarous Chiefs and Rulers" which presents a romanticized view of colonial Africa. The card features a detailed portrait of Dabularzi, showcasing his traditional attire and accessories, including a golden headband and a beaded necklace. The image is a valuable primary source for understanding the visual culture and perception of African leaders during the late 19th century.
