[edit]DescriptionBight of Biafra 1841.jpg | Caption: "King Bell's house, Cameroons"; king sitting in front of his house being entertained by dancers. "King Bell's house is very well built, with a raised story, surrounded by a verandah . . . .We . . . found [him] in front of his house, seated in a large arm-chair, with no other dress than an ample cotton cloth folded round the loins, and an English black beaver hat on. He was surrounded by a number of his people, who had devoted this cooler portion of the day to recreation. The principal performers were the Egbo men . . . " (Allen, pp. 240-41). |
