EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mountains & Market Canoes near Bokwen" takes us back in time to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the exploration and discovery of western Africa. Sketched by William Allen during his expedition with Richard Lemon Lander, this lithograph captures the essence of life along the River Niger. The scene showcases a picturesque view of mountains towering over a bustling market filled with canoes. The riverbank is alive with activity as Nigerian villagers go about their daily lives, rowing boats and engaging in trade. The settlement's huts dotting the landscape add an authentic touch to this vibrant depiction of village life. Thomas Picken masterfully translated Allen's sketch into this lithograph, preserving every detail and nuance for posterity. Published in 1840, it serves as a historical record of an important chapter in African exploration. However, behind the beauty lies tragedy. Lander's final journey down the River Niger was marred by conflict when he was attacked by African tribesmen. Despite being wounded by a musket ball that ultimately claimed his life, Lander's legacy lives on through these remarkable images captured by Allen. This print not only offers us an insight into Nigeria's rich history but also reminds us of the courage and determination exhibited by explorers like Lander and artists like Allen who documented their journeys for future generations to appreciate.
