EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving "Waiting, the Inhabitants of Fort Victoria, Mashonaland, in Readiness to defend the Fort against an Attack by the Matabeles" captures a moment of tension and anticipation in 19th century Zimbabwe. The artwork depicts the fortified walls of Fort Victoria, with its inhabitants gathered together in preparation for an imminent attack by the Matabeles. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and determination as men, women, and children stand ready to defend their fortress. Their faces reveal both fear and resolve as they await the arrival of their attackers. The artist Joseph Nash skillfully portrays this mix of emotions through his detailed brushwork. The fortifications surrounding them serve as a visual reminder of their vulnerability but also symbolize their strength and resilience. The Lundi River flows nearby, adding an element of natural beauty amidst the impending danger. This engraving not only showcases Nash's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document capturing a significant event during that time period. It offers viewers a glimpse into the challenges faced by those living in colonial Africa and highlights their courage in defending what was rightfully theirs. Overall, "Waiting" is a powerful image that evokes feelings of suspense and admiration for these brave individuals who stood united against adversity.
