Togolese Republic, West Africa.<br />
[c.1910]. Oblong Folio (210 by 270mm.), twenty-five silver gelatin<br />
prints, each approximately (130 by 170mm.), green clothe boards.<br />
In an 1884 treaty signed at Togoville, Germany<br />
declared a protectorate over a stretch of territory<br />
along the coast and gradually extended its control<br />
inland. This became the German colony Togoland<br />
in 1905. After the German defeat during World<br />
War I in August 1914 at the hands of British troops<br />
(coming from the Gold Coast) and the French<br />
troops (coming from Dahomey), Togoland became<br />
two League of Nations mandates, administered by<br />
the United Kingdom and France.<br />
