EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Terry Fincher, we are transported back to the 1st of November in 1961, during Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's visit to the Northern Province of Sierra Leone. The image showcases a remarkable moment as a local chieftain is carried past the royal couple while they observe a vibrant parade of devil dancers. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the fusion of tradition and modernity, with Queen Elizabeth II dressed elegantly in her regal attire and Prince Philip standing tall beside her. In contrast, the local chieftain exudes an aura of authority and cultural significance, adorned in his traditional national dress. As onlookers eagerly watch from behind barricades, one cannot help but be captivated by the rich tapestry of African culture displayed before them. The devil dancers' energetic movements and colorful costumes add an air of mystique to this enchanting scene. This snapshot serves as a testament to Queen Elizabeth II's commitment to strengthening ties with overseas nations during her reign. It also highlights Sierra Leone's unique heritage and its people's pride in showcasing their customs for visiting dignitaries. Terry Fincher expertly captures this fleeting moment frozen in time, allowing us to relive history through his lens. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art; it is a window into a significant chapter in both British and Sierra Leonean history that continues to resonate today.
