EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lagos, general view showing cathedral" offers a glimpse into the vibrant cityscape of Lagos in 1883-1884. Captured by renowned photographer William Henry Jackson, this albumen print measures 10.48x16.83 cm and is now housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The image showcases a panoramic view of Lagos, Nigeria's bustling metropolis. The focal point is undoubtedly the majestic cathedral that dominates the skyline with its intricate architecture and towering spires. Its presence symbolizes both religious devotion and architectural grandeur. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the surrounding cityscape teeming with life. The streets are filled with people going about their daily activities - merchants selling their wares, horse-drawn carriages traversing through busy thoroughfares, and locals engaged in lively conversations. Jackson's mastery lies in his ability to capture not just buildings but also emotions frozen in time. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of Lagos' rich history and cultural heritage while simultaneously being transported back to an era long gone. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to photography's power to preserve moments from the past for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It stands as a valuable artifact within the collection of fine art at the San Diego Museum of Art – an enduring reminder of Lagos' evolution over time.
