EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "West Indian Troops at Bathurst Barracks, West Coast of Africa" captures a significant moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases a group of West Indian troops stationed at Bathurst Barracks in what is now known as Banjul, The Gambia. The soldiers stand tall and proud, their uniforms immaculate despite the harsh conditions they face. Their faces display determination and resilience, reflecting the strength required to serve in unfamiliar territory far from home. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave men who served under challenging circumstances. Published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on March 10th, 1894, this image provides valuable insight into colonial military presence on the West Coast of Africa during that era. It serves as a reminder of Britain's imperial past and its impact on regions across the globe. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this historical artifact invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as imperialism, identity, and cultural exchange. It stands as both a testament to human endurance and an opportunity for us to learn from our shared history.
