This powerful and evocative print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Dahomey Expedition of 1897, now known as Benin. Colonel Hamilton and his men are depicted in action as they open fire, showcasing the intensity and danger of their mission. The image provides a glimpse into the tumultuous events that unfolded during this significant period in Africa's past.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it offers a window into the colonial conflicts and power struggles that shaped the region at that time. The bravery and determination of Colonel Hamilton and his men are palpable in their resolute stance against unknown adversaries.
