Scope and Contents
The three major urban islands of Lagos in Lagos Lagoon are Lagos Island, Ikoyi, and Victoria. These islands are separated from the mainland by the main channel draining the lagoon into the Atlantic, which forms Lagos Harbour. The Victoria Island, Victoria Garden City and Lekki areas, situated to the south of Lagos Island, are wealthy enclaves that house Nigeria's ruling elite and the country's wealthiest. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for Life magazine and traveled to Africa from August 18, 1959 to December 20, 1959.
