EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Rising in Sierra Leone, the Rebel Leader, Bai Bureh, in Jail" takes us back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1898, this print captures a significant moment during the civil unrest and insurgency that plagued Sierra Leone. In this powerful image, we see Bai Bureh, the renowned rebel leader who fearlessly fought against colonial rule and oppression. Captured and imprisoned for his resistance efforts, he stands defiantly behind bars as a symbol of resilience and determination. Wright's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The lines etched on paper bring forth an array of emotions - from the strength emanating from Bureh's unwavering gaze to the somber atmosphere surrounding him. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 24th, 1898. It serves as both a historical record and a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared challenge injustice. As we contemplate this artwork today, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by individuals like Bai Bureh who fought valiantly for their people's freedom. It prompts us to reflect on our own roles in shaping a more just society while honoring those who came before us.
