Royal Niger Company Soldiery
A photograph depicting a formation of approximately thirteen African males, identified in the source metadata as \"soldiery\", who are members of the Royal Niger Constabulary. The individuals are arranged in two rows behind two small-bore artillery pieces with spoked wooden wheels. The subjects wear dark cylindrical caps, high-collared button-down tunics, and leather belts with equipment pouches. Several men hold rifles vertically at their sides. The setting is an open, flat area with tropical vegetation, including palm trees, in the background. This image is part of the Crosse Collection at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, documented as having been taken between 1886 and 1895.
