EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mode of Travelling in Sierra Leone" takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the unique transportation methods used in West Africa. The engraving, created by Thomas Harrington Wilson and published in The Illustrated London News on March 31,1888, showcases an intriguing scene that transports us to Sierra Leone. In this image, we are presented with a fascinating mode of travel - hammocks. As our eyes wander across the picture, we see individuals comfortably seated within these suspended contraptions as they navigate through the vibrant landscapes of Sierra Leone. This unconventional means of transport not only highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of its people but also provides insight into their cultural practices. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Lush trees form a canopy overhead while sunlight filters through their leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground below. We can almost feel the gentle sway and hear whispers carried by warm breezes as these travelers make their way through this enchanting land. Through this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness an authentic snapshot of life in Sierra Leone during this era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans found innovative ways to traverse challenging terrains while embracing their surroundings.
