EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mbaruk bin Raschid" takes us back to the 19th century in East Africa. The image showcases a distinguished Arab chief, Mbaruk bin Raschid, who served as the governor of British East Africa Company's territories. The engraving captures Mbaruk bin Raschid's commanding presence and regal attire. His gaze is intense yet thoughtful, reflecting his authority and wisdom. The intricate details of his traditional garments highlight the rich cultural heritage of the region. The setting appears to be Kismayu or Mombasa, two significant coastal cities during that era. These locations were vital trading hubs where diverse cultures converged. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported to a time when colonial powers sought control over African territories for economic gain. This print was originally published in The Graphic on November 9th, 1895 – an era marked by exploration and expansion across continents. Through this image, we catch a glimpse of the complex dynamics between indigenous leaders like Mbaruk bin Raschid and European colonizers. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by local communities amidst changing political landscapes. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating the artistic craftsmanship behind its creation.
