EDITORS COMMENTS
"This striking stereo card photograph captures the historic moment when Cetewayo, also known as Cetshwayo KaMpande, the legendary Zulu king of South Africa, visited Britain during his exile in 1884. The image, taken during his stay in London, showcases the regal presence of the African monarch dressed in traditional attire, adorned with intricate beadwork and a distinctive hat, which symbolized his royal status. Cetewayo's visit to Britain came after his defeat in the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879, during which the British Empire sought to expand its territorial control over the Zulu Kingdom. The king was exiled to the Cape Colony, where he spent the remaining years of his life under British supervision. The stereo card format of this photograph, with its three-dimensional effect, adds an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the image, allowing the viewer to feel as if they are in the presence of the king himself. The intricate patterns on Cetewayo's clothing and the rich textures of the background further emphasize the historical significance of the photograph and the cultural richness of the Zulu people. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of historical images, providing a unique glimpse into the past and the complex relationship between Africa and Europe during the late 19th century. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural heritage that continues to shape our world today." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online. (2023).
