Content and context

157 x 112 mm. A view looking across pastureland, on which cattle are grazing, towards forest and distant hills. Alldridge recalls Sinkunia, situated west of Falaba about 150 miles from Freetown as the crow flies, as 'a picturesque and open town with high hills near. The sight of cattle grazing recalled many a pretty scene of pastoral English landscape'. (Alldridge 1901, page 290).
