Sierra Leone Street Scenes --
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Marriage in High Life"" is an intriguing and evocative photograph from the late 19th century, captured by an unknown photographer for "The Graphic," an illustrated weekly newspaper in Britain. The image, published in Volume 42 of the newspaper between July and December of 1890, depicts a lively wedding scene unfolding on the streets of Sierra Leone. The photograph captures a sense of excitement and celebration as a bride, elegantly dressed in Victorian-era attire, steps out of a three-wheeler carriage, accompanied by her groom and a group of well-dressed attendants. The bride's bridesmaids, also dressed in fashionable Victorian clothing, can be seen in the background, along with a crowd of onlookers, both black and white, who have gathered to witness the joyous occasion. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural fusion that characterized life in Sierra Leone during the late 19th century. The bride's Victorian-era attire stands in stark contrast to the traditional clothing worn by the onlookers, reflecting the blending of Western and African influences that were prevalent in the region at the time. The photograph also offers a unique insight into the transportation methods of the era, with the three-wheeler carriage providing a glimpse into the emerging road transport industry in Sierra Leone. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sierra Leone and the complex interplay of influences that shaped its social fabric during the Victorian era. Despite the unknown provenance of the photograph, it remains a captivating and intriguing image that transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the vibrant and diverse world of late 19th-century Sierra Leone.
