EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving, titled "The Advance on Benin: Map Showing the Route of the Expedition, 1897: The main portion" offers a glimpse into a significant historical event. Depicting Admiral Rawson's punitive expedition against the King of Benin, it showcases the strategic route taken by the forces in their quest for justice. The print highlights various key locations and actions undertaken during this expedition. Firstly, we witness how Admiral Rawson's force sailed up the river Benin to Warigi, setting the stage for what would be an arduous journey ahead. On that very day, they marched towards Siri and subsequently launched an attack on Ologbo, successfully occupying it. Simultaneously, Captain O Callaghan led another force from Philomel up Gwato Creek. Their mission was to occupy Gilli Gilli and Gwato as part of this coordinated effort against King Benin. Additionally, a third force ventured up Jameson River and secured Sapoba. With its intricate engravement technique and Victorian aesthetic charm, this vintage artwork transports us back to a time when expeditions like these were pivotal moments in history. It serves as both a historic artifact and an illustrative testament to human endeavors during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's archives today, let us reflect upon the courage and determination exhibited by those involved in such punitive expeditions while acknowledging their complex historical context.
