EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Freetown" takes us back to 19th century West Africa. The print showcases the bustling city of Freetown, a hub of Christian missionary work during that era. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant place with intricate details. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in the book "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World". Edited by Edwin Hodder and published by Cassell in approximately 1890, this engraving served as an illustration for this significant historical account. Intriguingly, Freetown symbolizes both religious devotion and cultural diversity. It stands as a testament to Christianity's spread across different corners of the globe. This print not only depicts architectural landmarks but also hints at the harmonious coexistence between various faiths within its borders. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded not only of Freetown's rich history but also how religion can bridge gaps between cultures and bring people together.
