Summary

Description
English: This eerie engraving of the fort of São João Baptista de Ajudá, Dahomey (now Benin) was published in the Portuguese magazine O Ocidente in 1886. With its high walls and gloomy aspect, it presents a somewhat imaginary view of the fort that does not correspond to 19th century descriptions by visitors and another more realistic engravings published in 1890. Le walls of the fort were about three meters high and made of mud mixed with clay.
Français : Gravure illustrant le fort portugais de São João Baptista de Ajudá à Ouidah, Dahomey (maintenant le Bénin) publiée dans la revue portugaise O Ocidente en 1886. C'est une vue romantique et peu réaliste du fort compte tenu des descriptions du fort datant de la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle et d'autres gravures d'époque, notamment une gravure montrant la façade du fort datant de 1890.

{{Gravura de 1886 mostrando o velho e meio abandonado forte de São João Baptista de Ajudá, depois um posto de portugues em Ouidah, Dahomey (agora Bénin). O pequeno enclave português, administrado da colônia da ilha portuguesa de São Tomé e Príncipe, a centenas de quilômetros de distância, não tinha acesso direto à costa nas proximidades.

O forte, uma antiga estação de comércio de escravos, permaneceu sob controle português até 1961, quando foi aproveitado pela recém-independente República do Dahomey (agora Benin). Publicado na revista portuguesa O Ocidente em 1886.}}
