EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a glimpse of Nigeria in 1850, specifically the city of Kano as seen from Mount Dala. The image is not just a visual representation but also a historical documentation of West Africa during that time period. Dr Heinrich Barth, an explorer and scholar, visited this region and sketched the landscape with intricate detail. The scene depicts the vastness and beauty of Nigeria's natural surroundings, with Mount Dala providing a panoramic view of Kano. The architecture and layout of the city are visible in the distance, showcasing its rich history and cultural significance. Dr Barth's sketching skills have captured the essence of Kano in all its glory, preserving this moment in time for future generations to admire. The attention to detail in his work is evident, from the smallest buildings to the sweeping landscapes that stretch out before him. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to February 1850 when Dr Heinrich Barth stood on Mount Dala and immortalized Kano through his sketches. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and connection to this vibrant region in Africa. Mary Evans Picture Library has provided us with a valuable glimpse into Nigeria's past through this remarkable photo print. It is not just an image but a window into another era that continues to inspire awe and fascination today.
