Photographic Print

Black and white photographic print showing three young men with palm leaf hampers on their backs. Written in pencil on the back of the image is Natives carrying produce from the hinterland of Sherbro, in palm in leaf hampers . Published opposite the title page in T. J. Alldridge, 1910, A Transformed Colony (London: Seeley) with the caption: Palm-leaf hampers. These hampers are admirably adapted for overland transport along the narrow paths. Though so fragile looking they are extremely strong, and it is surprising how much can be packed into them.
