EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Un village dans le Sierra Leone; L'Ouest Africain" (A Village in Sierra Leone; West Africa), was published in the French magazine "Grande Geographie Illustree" in 1914. The creator of the image remains unknown. The photograph captures the exterior of a group of traditional thatched houses in a West African village, likely located in Sierra Leone during the early 20th century. The British Empire had established colonies in West Africa, including Sierra Leone, and this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the local population during this period. The houses in the photograph are constructed with thatched roofs, a common building technique in the region. The image also reveals the simple exteriors of the houses, with their whitewashed walls and minimal decoration. The photograph provides a window into the past, offering a visual record of a time and place that has since undergone significant change. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of West Africa and the impact of European colonialism on the continent.
