It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the struggles faced by local communities and their resistance against oppressive taxation policies. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable, capturing every nuance of life at that time. From Bonthe to Freetown and Sulymah, each location tells its own story within this larger narrative.
