EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Kaffir Women selling Sugar-Cane in Pietermaritzburg" takes us back to the bustling streets of South Africa in the late 19th century. The image, created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these resilient women as they engage in street trading. The scene is set in Pietermaritzburg, a city known for its vibrant markets and diverse cultural heritage. Against the backdrop of colonial architecture, two Kaffir women are depicted with their bundles of sugar cane, skillfully balancing them on their heads. Their colorful traditional attire stands out against the monochromatic surroundings, adding an element of vibrancy to this snapshot from history. As we observe these determined traders going about their business, it becomes evident that selling sugar cane was not just a means to make ends meet but also an expression of resilience and resourcefulness. Despite facing numerous challenges during this period marked by racial tensions and economic hardships, these women exemplify strength through entrepreneurship. Frank Dadd's engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in October 1879. It serves as both a historical record and a testament to the indomitable spirit found within marginalized communities throughout history. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back in time to witness everyday life through artistry—a powerful reminder that stories can be told not only through words but also through
