Stake attention in this memory
A framed, sepia-toned photograph is mounted on a light-colored wall. The rectangular frame is dark with silver ornate patterns, and a holographic crackle effect on the dark sections. The photograph, taken in Badagry, Nigeria, at Christmas in 1923, depicts a group portrait of approximately 30-40 individuals identified as staff of the African Oil Nuts Company and Miller Brothers. The subjects are arranged in three rows. The front row consists of about 10-12 individuals, both African and European, seated on a low bench or the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Baxendale of Miller Brothers, a Liverpool-based company, are specifically identified as seated on the far right of this row. They are dressed in light-colored clothing. The middle row features a mix of African men, some wearing garments with letters, possibly forming words like "Badagry." The back row comprises African men, some bare-chested or in simple wraps, others in tunics, standing against an indistinct background that suggests an outdoor setting or building exterior. All individuals are posing directly for the camera. Below the photograph, a black header states "CHRISTMAS In Badagry, 1923". A lower panel provides a descriptive caption detailing the event and participants.
