EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Anglo-French Question in West Africa, Sierra Leone Market Women" takes us back to the bustling marketplaces of 19th century Sierra Leone. The image captures a group of strong-willed women engaged in an animated discussion, their faces etched with determination and concern. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of these market women as they count their hard-earned earnings. Each woman carries her own load of care, symbolizing the weighty responsibilities they shoulder to support themselves and their families. Amidst the vibrant chaos of the market place, it is evident that a difference of opinion has arisen among these spirited traders. Perhaps they are debating strategies for navigating the challenges posed by the ongoing Anglo-French Question in West Africa – a complex political issue that impacted trade relations during this time period. Their scolding gestures suggest both frustration and determination as they engage in this lively exchange. Despite any disagreements or hardships faced, these resilient women continue to persevere with unwavering strength. This historical print offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when African women played pivotal roles in shaping local economies while simultaneously grappling with larger geopolitical forces at play. It serves as a powerful reminder of their indomitable spirit and enduring legacy within Sierra Leone's rich cultural tapestry.
