EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print that depicts a significant event in the history of West Africa. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1901, this artwork showcases the brave efforts of the West African Frontier Force during their successful capture of Yola on 2 September. The scene captured in this print portrays a bustling street in Yola, filled with archers and musketeers from both British and French authorities. The soldiers are seen wearing traditional dress as they engage in combat to secure victory for the British Adamawa region. Colonel Morland, leading the West African Frontier Force, strategizes alongside Emir Zuberu at his palace while guns echo through the air. This momentous occasion marked an important turning point for Nigeria's colonial history. Woodville's detailed engraving beautifully captures not only the military action but also highlights the cultural exchange between Europe and Africa during this time period. It serves as a reminder of Great Britain's influence over its colonies and France's presence within its overseas territories. This print provides viewers with a glimpse into an era where nations vied for power and control over distant lands. It stands as a testament to both historical events and artistic talent, offering us insight into an important chapter in Nigerian history.
