EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Pioneer Corps of the British South Africa Company's Forces on their way to Mashonaland,' was published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' in 1890. The image documents an expeditionary force of the British South Africa Company, marching towards Mashonaland, a region in present-day Zimbabwe, during the late 19th century. The Pioneer Corps was an essential component of the British colonial expansion in Africa, tasked with paving the way for the establishment of settlements, infrastructure, and economic exploitation. The photograph showcases a diverse group of individuals, including Europeans and Africans, as they embark on their journey. The encampment in the background suggests the preparations and logistical planning required for such an expedition. The image also highlights the contrasting landscapes of the African continent, with ancient ruins, supposedly the residence of the Queen of Sheba, visible in the distance. The discovery of these ruins, depicted in the second part of the title, 'Ancient Ruins discovered at Zinbabye supposed to be the Residence of the Queen of Sheba,' further underscores the exploration and exploitation that characterized the colonial era. The Victorian-era newspaper 'The Graphic' documented these events, providing a visual record of this significant period in history. This photograph, a testament to the past, offers a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted nature of colonialism during the late 19th century. It highlights the interplay of exploration, industry, and the human element in the context of the 'Scramble for Africa' and the expansion of the British Empire.
