EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1915, the tranquil scene of Rawdon Street in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, transports us back in time. The wide, empty street, lined with grand colonial-style buildings, exudes a sense of calm and stillness, a stark contrast to the bustling activity that would typically characterize this commercial hub. Rawdon Street, named after Sir John Rawdon, the British Governor of Sierra Leone from 1816 to 1820, was the heart of Freetown's financial district during the early 1900s. The street was home to several prominent banks and financial institutions, which played a crucial role in the economic development of the region. In this image, we can see a few pedestrians making their way along the pavement, their shadows cast long and clear against the sun-dappled pavement. The buildings, with their intricate architectural details and vibrant colors, stand proudly, their facades adorned with the logos of the various financial institutions they once housed. Despite the quietness of the moment, there is a sense of vitality and energy that emanates from the scene. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the street, and the air is filled with the sounds of birds singing and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. The people of Freetown went about their daily lives, conducting business and socializing, while the banks and financial institutions continued to play a vital role in the economic growth and development of the region. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history and culture of Freetown during the 1910s. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and vibrant history that continues to shape the city today.
