The Opening-up of Nigeria, the Aro Expedition
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history through Henry Charles Seppings Wright's lithograph. This powerful image depicts the British Force driving out the Aros from their stronghold at Long Breastworks on December 8th. As an illustration for The Illustrated London News in February 1902, this print offers a glimpse into the military campaign that marked a turning point in Nigeria's development. The scene showcases the determination and strength of the British force as they push forward along the road from Enyong Creek to Okerojis Farm. With precision and strategic planning, they aim to dismantle Aro resistance and establish control over this region. The engraving skillfully portrays both sides of this conflict – highlighting not only the might of the British but also acknowledging the resilience and defiance of the Aros. Wright's attention to detail brings life to every element within this composition – from soldiers marching with purpose to smoke billowing from distant fires. Through his artistry, we witness history unfolding before our eyes. This print serves as a reminder of Nigeria's complex past, shedding light on significant events that shaped its trajectory towards independence. It stands as a testament to human ambition, power struggles, and cultural clashes that have defined nations throughout time.
