EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a Native village near Mora, Cameroon, in west central Africa, during the early years of the First World War, around 1914. The image presents a serene scene of simple huts, their thatched roofs blending seamlessly with the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. People, dressed in traditional attire, go about their daily chores, while horses graze peacefully in the foreground. The smoke rising from the huts indicates the presence of a fire, suggesting the warmth and comfort of home. The First World War reached Cameroon in 1914, when German forces were met with resistance from the indigenous population, who allied with the British and French forces. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the native people during this tumultuous time. Despite the looming conflict, everyday life continued, with people tending to their homes and livestock, and children playing in the village. The photograph also highlights the rich cultural heritage of the region, showcasing the unique architecture of the huts and the traditional clothing of the people. The presence of horses, an important mode of transportation in the region, further adds to the authenticity of the scene. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of communities, even in the face of adversity.
