EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Life in our West African Colonies" takes us on a visual journey to the vibrant and bustling world of Accra, Lagos, and other regions in Nigeria and Ghana during the late 19th century. The print showcases an array of scenes that offer a glimpse into the diverse aspects of daily life in these colonies. In the foreground, we see a traditional canoe gracefully gliding through calm waters, laden with maritime wares. On deck, locals engage in various activities; some are busy tending to their laundry while others enjoy leisurely moments amidst lively conversations. Colorful parrot merchants add an exotic touch as they display their feathered companions for sale. Further back, we catch sight of an establishment where individuals gather to relax and socialize after a long day's work. A group is seen enjoying a refreshing bath while nearby Krooboys diligently attend to their duties. This engraving encapsulates the rich cultural tapestry that defined West Africa at this time - its commerce, traditions, and communal spirit all beautifully depicted within this single image. Preserved from over a century ago, this historical snapshot provides invaluable insight into life during colonial times. It serves as both a reminder of our shared past and an invitation to explore further into the fascinating history of these remarkable West African colonies.
