* whatever political connotations the term 'northern Nigeria' may carry, here I use it to denote a generously defined geographical region situated somewhat in the north of Nigeria ... equally, my use of the term ‘local’ is in no way intended to be derogative but, in the tradition of British anthropology, refers to culture as it is lived in a particular locality ...

Set of Islamic Chromolithographs sold at Dreweatts

Look what I found: If that doesn’t look very much like one of the chromolithographs I collected in Kano in July 2008! These were auctioned at Dreweatts some while ago. Not sure whether they were actually sold or not. Anyway, with these being estimated at around £300-£400 the Nigerian prints certainly were the better buy. Sorry, Dreweatts.
