EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "West Coast of Africa (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the maritime history and exploration of the West Coast of Africa. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene filled with ships, an admiral, and various elements that depict life on this vibrant coast. The focal point of the image is HM Ship Penelope, majestically positioned amidst other vessels in what appears to be Lagos, Nigeria. The bustling town of Grand Taboo can be seen in the background as people go about their daily activities. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 14th, 1854. The artwork captures a significant moment as we witness Admiral King Ducimo boarding one of the ships while receiving or possibly destroying something important. It highlights both the power dynamics at play during this era and the strategic importance of Lagos along the West African coastline. Bridgeman Images brings this historical masterpiece to life through their fine art collection. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination transports us back to a time when exploration and trade were paramount along these shores. Let this enchanting image serve as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and ignite curiosity about the untold stories that lie within these waters.
