The Battle of Benin, 'Rally Round the Admiral!' - A Glimpse into West Africa's Military History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph print titled "The Battle of Benin, 'Rally Round the Admiral!'" offers a fascinating glimpse into a significant event in West Africa's military history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1897 for The Illustrated London News, this illustration captures the intensity and heroism of the Benin Expedition. Depicting a pivotal moment during the battle, the litho showcases an admiral rallying his troops amidst chaos and conflict. With intricate details and skilled engraving techniques, Wright masterfully brings to life this historic scene. The composition exudes energy as soldiers stand united, ready to defend their cause against all odds. The Battle of Benin was part of a larger campaign aimed at punishing King Ovonramwen Nogbaisi for defying British rule in what is now modern-day Nigeria. This expedition marked a turning point in colonial history as it led to the eventual annexation of Benin City by British forces. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only an important military engagement but also gain insight into cultural dynamics and power struggles that shaped West Africa during this period. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs and tragedies within colonial history. As we admire this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us reflect on how art can preserve historical moments while encouraging us to explore diverse narratives
