EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when explorers Richard Lander (1804-1834) and his brother John Lander (1811-1864) met with the King of Badagry, Akintola, in 1830. The Landers, renowned British explorers, had embarked on a mission to explore the Niger River and its tributaries, charting the course for future trade and colonial expansion. In the photograph, the brothers are seen standing respectfully before the African monarch, dressed in traditional robes and adorned with beads and other regal symbols. The King of Badagry, Akintola, sits regally on a mat, surrounded by his courtiers and attendants. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling African marketplace, with people going about their daily activities, and the palm trees and thatched huts characteristic of the region. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural exchange that took place between Europeans and Africans during the era of exploration and colonization. The Landers' encounter with the King of Badagry marked an important milestone in the history of Anglo-African relations, paving the way for further exploration, trade, and ultimately, colonial rule. Taken from an original print in the Mary Evans Picture Library, this photograph is a testament to the complex and multifaceted nature of the historical relationship between Africa and Europe. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ongoing legacies of colonialism and globalization in the contemporary world.
