EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "Military Operations in Sierra Leone, Scenes in the Kissi Country" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Barnes Wollen after an original illustration for The Illustrated London News in 1899, this artwork offers a glimpse into the intense military action that unfolded during this time. The scene depicted showcases a stockade located in the Kissi Country of Sierra Leone. The rushing Meli River adds to the dramatic atmosphere as members of the West India Regiment engage in military operations. Led by Colonel Marshall, these soldiers are seen bravely defending their position against unknown adversaries. Intriguingly, one can spot a seven-pounder cannon positioned strategically within the stockade, ready to unleash its firepower if necessary. This lithograph captures not only the physicality of war but also highlights the resilience and determination exhibited by those involved. As we observe this historical image from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of past conflicts and their impact on nations like Sierra Leone. Through artistry and precision engraving techniques employed by Wollen, we are transported back to witness these scenes firsthand. This litho print is part of Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection and holds immense value for history enthusiasts seeking insight into military operations during this era.
