Mr Cecil Rhodes was a prominent figure in South African history, known for his involvement in various political and military events. The Parliamentary Inquiry on the Jameson Raid captured an important moment in his life, as he gave evidence before the South Africa Committee. This lithograph showcases his presence during this significant inquiry. Another lithograph titled "The Siege of Kimberley" portrays Rhodes amidst a turbulent time when the city was under siege. It highlights his resilience and determination to protect the people of Kimberley during this challenging period. "A Lesson in Empire making" is yet another lithograph that sheds light on Rhodes' ambitions and strategies for expanding British influence. It demonstrates his belief in empire-building and provides insight into his mindset as a powerful figure shaping South Africa's destiny. Rhodes' passion for hunting is depicted in "Peace after War, " where he can be seen enjoying leisure activities such as hunting in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). This image offers a glimpse into his personal interests outside of politics and warfare. During The Matabili and Mashona Revolt, Colonel Napier led a column to punish rebels while also meeting with Mr Cecil Rhodes himself. An engraving captures this historic encounter between two influential figures who played crucial roles during these uprisings. Rhodes' impact extended beyond military affairs; he had strong ties with Cape Town, which are evident from "Capetown's Farewell to Mr Cecil Rhodes. " This lithograph depicts the emotional farewell given by the people of Cape Town as they bid him goodbye, highlighting their admiration for him. Recognition came from prestigious institutions like Oxford University, where Lord Kitchener joined Mr Cecil Rhodes to receive honorary degrees. A lithograph commemorates this event, showcasing their achievements and contributions to society. In times of adversity, such as when facing scrutiny from the South Africa Committee of Inquiry ("Facing the Music"), Mr Cecil Rhodes remained composed while being examined. This lithograph reflects how he handled challenges with grace and composure.
