The Graphic, Front Cover Saturday, October 25, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing print depicting an eventful scene from the late 19th century, specifically in Mashonaland, Africa, which is now part of Zimbabwe. The image, created by an unknown artist for "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," showcases a convoy of wagons and men, likely part of an expeditionary force or mining operation, making their way through an African landscape. The cover of the newspaper, from the July to December, 1890 issue, presents a vivid and dynamic image of the British colonial expansion in Africa during the era of the "Scramble for Africa." The British South Africa Company, a commercial enterprise chartered by the British government to establish and administer a colony in South Africa, had recently taken control of Mashonaland, leading to increased exploration, exploitation, and industrial development. The print captures the essence of this period, with men of various races, both black and white, working together and living in an encampment. The men, dressed in Victorian attire, are shown loading supplies onto wagons, while others tend to the animals. In the background, African men are shown watching the scene unfold, adding to the rich tapestry of the colonial encounter. The image also highlights the importance of transportation and industry during this time, as the wagons and the men are essential for the movement of goods and resources. The print serves as a visual reminder of the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism, with its elements of exploration, exploitation, and coexistence between different races and cultures. Overall, "The Graphic, Front Cover Saturday, October 25, 1890" is a captivating and historically significant representation of the British colonial presence in Africa during the late 19th century.
