EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cecil Rhodes, a prominent figure in South African history. The illustration is taken from the book "Twelve Portraits" published in 1899 and features a hand-coloured woodblock by William Nicholson. Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) was an influential individual who made significant contributions to various fields during his lifetime. He served as the Prime Minister of Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896 and played a crucial role in the development of South Africa's railway system, colonial administration, and diamond industry. The image captures Rhodes' charismatic presence as he sits confidently, exuding power and authority. His achievements are highlighted through symbols such as the Cape House of Assembly and references to his involvement with scholarships, railways, diamonds, Oxford University, and Rhodesia. Rhodes' legacy is complex; he is celebrated for his philanthropic endeavors but also criticized for his controversial views on imperialism. Nevertheless, this print serves as a reminder of his immense impact on South Africa's history. Displayed within this private collection photographed by Desmond Banks and licensed through Bridgeman Images, this artwork provides viewers with an opportunity to delve into the life of Cecil Rhodes - a man whose influence shaped both local and global landscapes during the late 19th century.
