EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us on a visual journey through West Africa in the late 19th century. The print, created by Joseph Holland Tringham, offers a glimpse into the daily life and challenges faced by the Sierra Leone Frontier Force. In this scene, we witness an array of activities unfolding along the Mabole River. Native drummers create rhythmic beats as military personnel disembark from boats and canoes. Port Lokko serves as a bustling hub for carriers transporting loads while tribal communities observe with curiosity. The image showcases not only the physical landscape but also significant landmarks such as Frontier Force Barracks and Blockhouse. These structures symbolize both protection and control within this region. As our eyes wander further into the picture, we catch sight of District Commissioner's Compound in Falaba - a place where administrative decisions are made amidst Chief Montibrima's town of Karene. This engraving provides valuable historical context about transportation systems during that era. Tugboats play an essential role in facilitating movement between Freetown and Falaba, ensuring vital supplies reach their destinations efficiently. Tringham's artwork invites us to reflect upon the rich cultural diversity present in Sierra Leone at that time. It captures moments of interaction between different communities while emphasizing their shared experiences under military presence. Overall, "With the Sierra Leone Frontier Force" is not just an engraving; it is a window into history – one that sheds light
