EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 19th century Freetown, Sierra Leone, showcasing the bustling street scene and architectural wonders of this colonial era town. The image captures a panoramic view of the city, with its vibrant houses and buildings lining the shore line against the backdrop of the vast sea. Labelled within the engraving are notable landmarks that played significant roles in Freetown's history. The Penelope, Mandingo Shore, Jail (also serving as the Court House), Freetown Church, Colonial Office, and Commisariat all come to life through this intricate artwork. It is fascinating to learn that Freetown served as both the capital of British West Africa and as a base for the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron during its time as a Crown Colony from 1808-1961. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly St George's Cathedral - also known as Freetown Church - standing proudly at its center. Completed in 1828, it symbolizes not only architectural beauty but also represents an important religious institution within Sierra Leonean society. Through this historic photograph print by English School from a private collection, we are transported back in time to witness an administrative hub brimming with African culture and colonial influences. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Freetown's past while celebrating its unique architecture and rich heritage.
