EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1926, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Lagos, Nigeria during the 1920s. The image, titled "The Marina, Customs to Christ Church, Lagos, Nigeria," showcases a vibrant and lively scene along the Marina Road. At the heart of the photograph, a Nigerian policeman stands tall and proud in the middle of the road, directing traffic with an authoritative air. The policeman's presence underscores the importance of maintaining order in this bustling commercial hub. To the left of the image, the imposing Customs House looms large, a testament to the significant role it played in Lagos' economy as a major port city. The Customs House was responsible for the collection of taxes and duties on imported goods, making it a crucial institution for the British colonial administration. On the right side of the photograph, the spire of Christ Church can be seen rising above the buildings, a symbol of the strong Christian presence in Lagos. The church, founded in 1845, was one of the oldest and most prominent religious institutions in the city. The photograph also reveals the diverse population of Lagos during the 1920s, with people of various ethnicities and backgrounds going about their daily business. The sight of European men in suits, Nigerian men in traditional attire, and women in colorful headwraps all add to the rich tapestry of life in this vibrant city. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of cultures, commerce, and colonial administration that defined Lagos during the 1920s.
