EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Campaigning in South Africa, a Scramble for Biscuits" by George Soper, transports us back to the 19th century. The scene depicted is both poignant and thought-provoking as it captures the harsh realities of poverty and hunger in Africa during that time. In this powerful image, we witness a group of individuals desperately scrambling for biscuits. Their expressions reveal their desperation and longing for sustenance amidst dire circumstances. The artist skillfully portrays the human struggle against hunger through intricate details and emotive facial expressions. The composition evokes a sense of chaos as people from different walks of life come together in search of food. It serves as a stark reminder of the inequalities prevalent during that era, where access to basic necessities was limited for many. Soper's illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on February 16th, 1901, providing viewers with an insight into the challenges faced by communities affected by poverty in South Africa at that time. This print serves as a historical document capturing an important aspect of African history. As we gaze upon this engraving today, let us reflect on how far we have come in addressing issues such as poverty and hunger while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done to ensure equality for all.
