EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Hellgrave depicts the bustling Victoria roads in Cameroon around 1900. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life a snapshot of colonial Africa, showcasing the impact of European influence on the region. The image captures a moment in time when Cameroon was under colonial rule, with well-maintained roads and buildings reflecting the presence of foreign powers. The scene is filled with activity, from horse-drawn carriages to pedestrians going about their daily business. Victoria, now known as Limbe, was an important port city during this period, serving as a hub for trade and commerce. The illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering viewers a window into what life may have been like in Cameroon at the turn of the 20th century. Hellgrave's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the drawing, from the architecture of the buildings to the clothing worn by passersby. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that captures a specific moment in time. As we look back on this illustration today, we are reminded of the complex history of colonization in Africa and its lasting effects on societies across the continent.
