“The 1870s onwards when, with the emancipation of thebourgeoise, museums of natural history and zoos were opened across Europe asintellectual heirs of the princely cabinets de curiosités, it was consideredself-evident that the presentation of exotic fauna also includes black people.At the turn of the century already the zoos in fifteen European cities –including London, Berlin, Basel, Antwerp, and even the Russian Warsaw – offeredthis attraction.”

“The Somali Village (1907)” This was in Dublin [X]

“This stand proved to be ofhuge interest to the 2,751,113 visitors in all during the six months that theexhibition lasted. So much so, that it became the most profitable stand,earning £9,601 in sales of its pottery and other native goods.”

“Numbering about 100, the Somalis built their village and lived in it from May until the exhibition closed on 29 October 1904. At least 9 postcards were on sale: Chakim the doctor, fourteen children at school, “washing day” (an all-women affair), and so on. Britain’s military campaigns in Somalia continued to be in the news, and despite the Exhibition’s aim to show its textile and other manufacturers produced excellent goods, the Somalis attracted many of the 2.4 million visitors.”
