EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic artifact that represents the rich colonial history of Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe and Zambia. The Union Jack flag used by the British South Africa Company between 1890 and 1923 is beautifully displayed in this image. The British South Africa Company was established in 1889 with the aim of exploring and encouraging colonization across south-central Africa. This flag symbolizes their authority over Rhodesia during their administration period. It serves as a reminder of the significant role played by this company in shaping the region's destiny. During its control, the British South Africa Company developed and governed Rhodesia until 1924 when Northern and Southern Rhodesia were handed over to settlers under Colonial Office supervision. This marked an important transition for both territories. The fabric of this Union Jack flag holds historical significance, representing not only colonialism but also the power dynamics at play during that era. Its presence evokes thoughts about imperialism, exploration, and territorial expansion. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this print allows viewers to reflect on a time when flags like these represented dominance and influence over vast lands far from home shores. As we observe this image today, it prompts us to consider how our understanding of history has evolved while appreciating the complexities surrounding colonization and its lasting impact on nations around the world.
