Hardcover. Condition: New. The first official photographer to the royal court of Benin, Solomon Osagie Alonge (1911-1994) took portraits of its obas, or kings, in their regalia, and created a record of ceremonial life. Produced in collaboration between Washington's Smithsonian Institution and Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments, this book reproduces many of his images, examines their role as a documentary record of an era of change, and explores the practices of early studio photography in West Africa.
