EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Humours of West Indian life" offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling world of the late 19th century Caribbean. The image, created by an English School artist, showcases various aspects of daily life in the West Indies. In this scene, we find ourselves in a lively market where locals gather to trade goods and engage in animated conversations. Men and women dressed in colorful costumes can be seen selling an array of fruits and vegetables, showcasing the region's rich botanical diversity. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, chatter, and the enticing aromas of fresh produce. Amidst this vibrant backdrop, our attention is drawn to a barbershop tucked away on one side. A group of customers patiently waits their turn for a clean shave or stylish haircut while engaging in friendly banter with each other. This barbershop serves as not only a place for grooming but also as a hub for social interaction within the community. The lithograph provides us with valuable insights into both employment opportunities during that era as well as cultural exchanges between different ethnicities present in Sierra Leone at that time. It serves as an important historical document capturing moments from everyday life that would otherwise have been lost to time. Through its intricate details and vivid colors, this print transports us back to an enchanting period where trade thrived alongside camaraderie among diverse communities - truly encapsulating the humors of West Indian life.
