Missionary Views and Activities in Freetown, Sierra Leone, 1893

About the Item

The clip is from the German newspaper "Die Gartenlaube," a popular 19th-century illustrated magazine. The style of the illustration is characteristic of this publication. "Die Gartenlaube" was known for its informative articles and detailed illustrations about various cultures and countries, making it a likely source for this print from 1896. The text at the top, "Nachrichten aus den Missionen" ("News from the Missions"), and the title "Westafrika. Apostol. Vicariat Sierra Leone," indicates that this page is focused on missionary work in West Africa, specifically Sierra Leone. The illustration at the bottom of the page is labeled "Ansicht von Freetown in Sierra Leone" ("View of Freetown in Sierra Leone"). This suggests that the print is providing a visual representation of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, as seen in 1893. The accompanying text likely describes the missionary activities and experiences in the region.
