African Zenega people. 17th-century artwork of clothing worn by Zenega (or Sanhaja) people in Africa. Of Berber origin, these people spread as far south as what is now Senegal. This engraving is from 'Africa' (1670) by the London-based Scottish cartographer John Ogilby (1600-1676). This 767-page atlas describes the known lands and peoples of Africa, with 57 plate engravings of maps and artworks. Largely based on the 1668 work 'Naukeurige Beshryvinge der Afrikaenesche gewesten' by Dutch geographer Olfert Dapper, the engravings were by 17th-century Dutch artist Jacob van Meurs.
