Construction of Brick Buildings by the Royal Niger Company
A photograph depicting a construction site featuring two single-story rectangular buildings made of exposed brick with corrugated metal roofs. The scene includes approximately nine individuals: some wearing Western-style buttoned shirts and trousers, and others in traditional wrap-style garments with bare upper torsos. Loose bricks are scattered across the unpaved foreground, and the background consists of dense tropical vegetation with palm species and broad-leafed canopy trees. The image is part of the Crosse Collection, documenting the activities of the Royal Niger Company between 1886 and 1895.
