EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph captures a snapshot of The British Empire in the 1920s, specifically focusing on Nigeria. The image showcases the vibrant and diverse landscape of West Africa, with a majestic hippopotamus standing prominently in the foreground.
The artist, part of the English School from the 20th century, has skillfully depicted the essence of Nigeria during this time period. From the bustling city of Lagos to the untamed wilderness that is home to exotic wildlife like hippos, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era.
Originally distributed as part of a series of large cigarette cards with Wills's "Gold Flake" in 1929, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. It highlights not only the natural beauty of Nigeria but also its place within the vast British Empire.
As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to an era when colonial powers ruled over distant lands. The intricate details and vivid colours bring history to life, allowing us to appreciate and reflect on our shared past.
Overall, this print is a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Nigeria's rich heritage and its complex relationship with imperial powers during the early 20th century.
