[Group of Freemasons in regalia], 1895 - 1911
Scope and Contents
190 x 130 mm. This shows eleven Europeans (with Smyly seated in the centre) and one African. According to the ‘Sierra Leone Weekly News’ of 27 November 1897, Smyly was a member of the Fairlough Lodge of Mark Masons, but Creoles were prominent in the membership, and occupied the posts of Secretary and Treasurer, which makes the predominantly European character of this photograph puzzling. For Freemasons in Sierra Leone, see also Y30448C/9 and 21.
