EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Captivity of Cetewayo, the King fishing over the Side of the Transport Natal in Simons Bay" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into the life of Cetewayo, a prominent figure during the Anglo-Zulu War. In this scene, we see Cetewayo, the Zulu king himself, perched on the side of the transport ship Natal as he indulges in one of his favorite pastimes – fishing. The image showcases not only his royal status but also his resilience and determination even amidst captivity. As we observe closely, we notice that Cetewayo is equipped with traditional fishing implements such as lines and hooks. This detail highlights both his connection to nature and his resourcefulness in making do with what he has at hand. It is fascinating to witness how even under these circumstances, he finds solace and joy through an activity deeply rooted in his culture. "The Captivity of Cetewayo" serves as a reminder that despite being held captive far from home in Simon's Bay, South Africa; Cetewayo remains steadfast and connected to his heritage. This engraving allows us to reflect on themes such as freedom versus confinement while shedding light on an important chapter in African history.
