EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history in the form of a Mafeking £1 banknote from 1901. The note features a unique design, with Lord Baden-Powell's personal touch evident in its creation. As the commander during the siege of Mafeking, Baden-Powell took great interest in the issuance of these notes and even had a hand in designing some himself.
One striking feature on this particular banknote is the depiction of the homemade gun "Wolf," named after Baden-Powell himself. Known to natives as "The Wolf that never sleeps," this powerful symbol adds an element of strength and resilience to the currency.
The image captures not only a piece of monetary history but also serves as a reminder of Baden-Powell's legacy as the founder of the scouting movement. His influence can be seen not only in his military leadership but also in his dedication to shaping young minds through scouting principles.
Overall, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into a significant moment in time, where currency served as more than just means for trade—it was also used to honor bravery and commemorate historical events like the siege of Mafeking.
