This is a photo of an Igbo man from the 1900s, a master weaver.
The write-up below describes the Igbo people as documented by British colonialists.
In 1888, British colonialist H. H. Johnston told the Royal Society of Britain that the Igbo people were extremely industrious, productive and skilled.
They excel in weaving, metalwork, textile design, and home decoration.
He emphasized that the Igbo’s were superior to their neighbors, being true producers and innovators.
They smelted their own iron, crafted their own tools, and were successful agriculturists, raising livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep, fowl, and ducks. Unlike neighboring tribes, who were mostly non-producers, the Igbo created trade and maintained advanced social and cultural practices.
