EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Lagos, Nigeria in the early 20th century, showcasing the impressive Bank of British West Africa and Messrs Elder Dempster & Coys Offices. The colonial architecture of these buildings exudes grandeur and sophistication, reflecting the power and influence of British presence in West Africa during this time.
The bustling streets surrounding these iconic structures are filled with activity, as people go about their daily business in this vibrant hub of finance and commerce. The image offers a window into a bygone era when Lagos was still a colony under British rule, highlighting the blend of European influence with local Nigerian culture.
The Bank of British West Africa stands tall as a symbol of economic prowess and stability, while Messrs Elder Dempster & Coys Offices represent the interconnectedness between trade companies operating in the region. These buildings were not just places for conducting business transactions; they were also architectural marvels that added to the charm and character of Lagos' skyline.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of history that has shaped Lagos into the dynamic metropolis it is today. It serves as a poignant reminder of Nigeria's journey towards independence and self-determination, while also celebrating the enduring legacy left behind by colonial powers like Britain.
