EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of the "King of Calabar, Nigeria" during the late 19th century. The King, adorned in a magnificent robe and seated on his throne, exudes authority and power. His crown symbolizes his royal status as he gazes confidently into the camera. Taken by Mary Henrietta Kingsley during her first expedition to West Africa in 1893-94, this portrait offers a rare glimpse into Nigerian history at the turn of the century. The King's family is also present in the photo - his daughter stands proudly beside him while his son sits attentively nearby. This image showcases not only their familial bond but also highlights their significant roles within Nigerian society. The composition beautifully captures both strength and grace as it immortalizes this momentous encounter between Kingsley and one of Nigeria's most influential figures.
