Kroo Town, Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa: A Glimpse into the Past through The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection This vintage lantern slide image transports us back in time to Kroo Town, a historic community located in Freetown, the vibrant capital city of Sierra Leone, Africa. Established in the late 18th century as a settlement for freed slaves from the Caribbean and the United States, Kroo Town is rich in history and cultural diversity. The photograph, taken during the Victorian or Edwardian era, showcases the picturesque streets of Kroo Town, with their quaint houses adorned with colorful details and intricate woodwork. The warm, golden light of the lanterns illuminates the narrow alleyways, creating an enchanting atmosphere that speaks to the resilience and ingenuity of its inhabitants. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Africa and its diverse peoples. The collection, which spans the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a unique window into the lives of Africans during a time of significant change and transformation. This image of Kroo Town, Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to thrive in this remarkable community. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
