Quotes by Barnaby Phillips (?)

“The British man has spoilt the earth and he has spoilt the skies – he has ruined everything.’ If you walk from the Oba’s palace, it might take you five minutes to reach Igun Street.”
― Barnaby Phillips, Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes

0 likes

“For Britain it was another small campaign against a primitive tribe on the frontier of Empire, of little consequence after the brief thrill of victory. It’s perhaps not surprising that the children of those who toppled the Oba and took his treasure should have been oblivious of those events. The winners get to write history. Often that means forgetting its less convenient chapters.”
― Barnaby Phillips, Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes

“Benin in the sixteenth century was at the height of its power, the royal court a place of pomp and ritual, and there were limits to Portugal’s influence. The Portuguese offered fine cloths, but Benin already had these in abundance.”
― Barnaby Phillips, Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes
