EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene scene of the Native village and Tokeh Ferry in Sierra Leone, West Africa, circa 1920. The image showcases the simple yet beautiful architecture of the native huts, with their thatched grass roofs and walls made of woven straw. The trees and lush greenery surrounding the village add to the idyllic setting. In the foreground, a group of native people can be seen gathered near the water's edge, likely waiting for the arrival of the Tokeh Ferry. The ferry, with its distinctive wooden hull and sails, can be seen anchored in the distance. The Tokeh Ferry was an essential means of transportation for the local community, allowing them to travel between the mainland and the islands off the coast of Sierra Leone. The peaceful atmosphere of the scene is in stark contrast to the challenges and hardships faced by the native people during this time. Sierra Leone was under British colonial rule during the 1920s, and the country experienced significant social and economic upheaval. Despite these challenges, the native community continued to thrive, maintaining their traditions and way of life. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the native people of Sierra Leone during the 1920s. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of West Africa, and the resilience and strength of the people who call it home.
