EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, taken in the late 1890s, depicts a group of Native Carriers in British South Africa, now known as Zimbabwe. The image offers a glimpse into the past of this African nation during the colonial era. Native Carriers were essential laborers in the British colonies, responsible for transporting goods and supplies over long distances. They played a crucial role in the development of infrastructure, particularly in the construction of railways, roads, and telegraph lines. In this photograph, the Native Carriers are seen carrying various items on their heads, including sacks, barrels, and other supplies. They are dressed in simple loincloths and barefoot, reflecting the harsh conditions of the terrain and the climate. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and a clear blue sky, hinting at the natural beauty of the region. The Native Carriers were an integral part of the colonial economy, and their labor was essential to the expansion of British influence in Africa. However, their working conditions were often harsh, and they were subjected to exploitation and mistreatment. This image serves as a poignant reminder of their contributions to the history of Zimbabwe and the broader African continent during the late 19th century. This lantern slide is part of the Boswell Collection, held at Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the social and economic history of Zimbabwe during the colonial period. It offers a unique perspective on a time and place that continues to shape the world we live in today.
