EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic year of 1897, where a contingent of armed frontier police from Sierra Leone found themselves at Chelsea Barracks in London. The image showcases fifteen distinguished men, alongside one European officer, who were chosen to represent the formidable Sierra Leone force during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee procession. The composition exudes strength and unity as these brave individuals stand tall, their eyes fixed with determination. Dressed in their traditional uniforms, they proudly display their roles as guardians of peace and protectors of their homeland. Each man carries a weapon - a symbol of their commitment to safeguarding justice. Reinhold Thiele skillfully captures this significant moment in history, freezing it for eternity within the confines of this stunning landscape format photograph. The monochromatic tones add an air of timelessness and evoke a sense of nostalgia. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an era when cultures converged on foreign soil; when nations united under the banner of celebration; when diversity was celebrated rather than feared. This print serves as both a testament to human resilience and an homage to those who dedicated themselves to serving others. It is through art like Reinhold Thiele's masterpiece that we can reflect on our shared pasts and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us – reminding us that history is not just confined within textbooks but lives on through visual storytelling such as this extraordinary photograph.
