EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902), a prominent English businessman and politician of the 19th century. Rhodes is depicted in formal attire, wearing a bow tie and sporting a prominent moustache, reflecting the fashionable standards of the time. His intense gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and ambition. Born in Bishop's Stortford, England, Rhodes is best known for his role in the expansion of the British Empire in Africa, particularly in the areas of Rhodesia and South Africa. He founded the De Beers Consolidated Mines, which controlled the world's diamond industry, and the British South Africa Company, which was instrumental in the colonization of present-day Zimbabwe and Zambia. Rhodes' political career began in earnest when he was elected to the Cape Colony's Legislative Assembly in 1882. He went on to serve as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896. Rhodes' vision of imperial expansion led him to advocate for the creation of a continuous British territory from the Cape Colony to Cairo, a dream that came to be known as the "Cape to Cairo" scheme. This engraving is a testament to Rhodes' significant impact on British history and the global political landscape of the late 19th century. His legacy, however, remains controversial, as his policies and actions have been criticized for their role in the exploitation and marginalization of indigenous populations in Africa. Nonetheless, Rhodes' influence on the political and economic landscape of Southern Africa is undeniable.
