EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Village of Eyvango, near Abomey; An Excursion in Dahomey, 1871" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century West Africa. Created by J. Alfred Skertchly as part of his Illustrated Travels series published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The image transports us to what is now Benin, where we find ourselves immersed in a scene that evokes both curiosity and intrigue. The foreground reveals an unexpected sight - scattered skeletons lying amidst the village buildings. This unusual juxtaposition sparks questions about the history and culture of this region. Skertchly's composition skillfully captures the essence of daily life in Eyvango village during that era. The simple yet sturdy structures stand tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of its inhabitants. As we delve deeper into this photograph, our imagination runs wild with stories untold - tales of occupation and profession carried out within these walls; stories whispered through generations about Edo traditions that shaped this community. Through Skertchly's lens, we are reminded not only of the beauty found in remote corners but also how images can serve as windows into forgotten worlds. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate the historical significance embedded within each frame captured by talented photographers like J. Alfred Skertchly.
