A taste of 1930's middle-class Lagos

Описание к видео A taste of 1930's middle-class Lagos

Lagos has always been at the cusp of urbanisation and trendsetting in West Africa, even in the pre-Nigerian context (alongside Calabar and Accra of course). By the 1930's a new elite emerged, with a more widespread ethnic demographic. Educated, well travelled, confident, they came to form the Lagos elite of the era. I have put together a few images of people and places from the era. A few of these were not resident in Lagos (Ulasi, Egbe, Amobi and Essien), however the images were all captured in Lagos.
