EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of West African colonial history, as five governors of British colonies gathered for a conference in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1939. Sir Thomas Southorn, the Governor of Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), Sir Arnold Hodson, the Governor of Sierra Leone, Sir Bernard H. Bourdillon, the Governor of Nigeria, Sir Douglas Jardine, the Governor of Northern Nigeria, and Mr. Duncan G. Stewart, the Governor of Southern Nigeria, are depicted in deep discussion. The conference was an important platform for diplomacy and the exchange of ideas among British colonial administrators, as they sought to address the challenges and complexities of governing their respective territories. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the 1930s, an era marked by the height of European colonialism in Africa, and the intricacies of foreign policy and diplomacy within the British Commonwealth. The governors' formal attire and serious expressions convey the gravity of the issues at hand, while the backdrop of the colonial administration office adds to the sense of importance and authority. This photograph is a testament to the significant role these individuals played in shaping the political landscape of West Africa during a pivotal period in its history.
