EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1973, we witness the historic moment when General Yakuba Jack Gowan arrives at Gatwick Airport for his State visit to Britain. The image captures the essence of diplomacy and international relations as HRH Princess Alexandra warmly greets the distinguished guest alongside her husband Angus Ogilvy. Dressed in a regal cap and uniform adorned with medals, General Yakuba exudes an air of authority and respect. His presence is matched by Princess Alexandra, who radiates elegance in her exquisite dress, gloves, hat, and handbag. Their handshake symbolizes the bridge between two nations, fostering friendship and cooperation. The photograph transports us back to a significant era in history - the 1970s - where global connections were being forged amidst political shifts. It serves as a reminder of how leaders from different backgrounds can come together to promote peace and understanding.
