Yemen, British soldiers near a building in Al Hudaydah, 1855

This photograph shows a group of British soldiers stationed near a building in the city of Al Hudaydah.

During this period, the British presence in the region was part of the context of colonial competition and foreign influence on the Yemeni coast.

The photograph reflects the architectural composition of the building and some aspects of the military organization of the period, in addition to the cultural and civilizational details that lived within the context of the changes that Yemen witnessed in the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century.

This photograph is a historical document that reveals some of the foreign intervention in Yemen during this sensitive period.
