EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Gambo, the last of Lo Bengulas Indunas to submit" takes us back in time to 19th century Africa. The image showcases a powerful African man named Gambo, who stands tall and proud despite the weight of his circumstances. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Gambo's story - one of resilience and sacrifice. As an induna (chief) under Lo Bengula's rule, Gambo finds himself at a crossroads between loyalty and survival. In this poignant moment frozen in time, we witness his decision to submit. The details in this engraving are remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to Gambo's weathered face and worn attire. His eyes reflect both determination and sadness as he contemplates the consequences of his submission. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the complex dynamics that shaped colonial Africa. The poisoned atmosphere surrounding Buluwayo is palpable, symbolizing the oppressive forces that ultimately led to indigenous leaders like Gambo surrendering their power. As we gaze upon this historical print from our private collection, it serves as a reminder of the strength found within individuals facing unimaginable challenges. It prompts us to reflect on how history has shaped our present reality while honoring those who fought against injustice.
