EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Royal Niger Company's Expedition, everyday Scenes on the River Niger" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into life along the historic river. Created by Charles J. Staniland in 1897, this print showcases a bustling scene filled with vibrant details and cultural nuances. In the foreground, we see a log of mahogany being prepared for shipping, symbolizing the region's rich natural resources. Women in colorful traditional dress can be seen navigating market canoes, skillfully maneuvering through the waters of the Niger. A boat arrives at its destination as locals eagerly await its cargo. The composition also highlights various aspects of daily life along the river. A head-shaving session takes place under a makeshift tent while nearby merchants sell their wares, including yams and other produce. Houssa soldiers stand proudly in their traditional attire, adding an element of strength and authority to the scene. Asaba and Axim are mentioned as specific locations within this vast African landscape – each contributing to the diverse tapestry that is captured within this print. "The Royal Niger Company's Expedition" provides viewers with an intimate look into both commerce and culture during this time period. It serves as a reminder of Africa's rich history and its enduring connection to rivers like Benue and Niger – lifelines that have shaped communities for centuries.
