EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "With Colonel Pagets Column in Rhodesia, a Makalaka describing a Battle" takes us back to the historic events that unfolded in Victoria, Rhodesia. Created by Charles Edwin Fripp in 1896, this print captures the essence of a significant confrontation between rebels and natives. In this powerful image, we witness a Makalaka warrior passionately recounting the details of an intense battle. His animated gestures and expressive face convey his deep involvement and emotional connection to the event. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays every intricate feature of the Makalaka warrior's attire and weaponry. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on November 7th, 1896. It offers viewers a glimpse into Zimbabwe's rich military history during colonial times. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of Victoria's picturesque Granite Hill, adding depth and context to the narrative. Colonel Paget's column stands prominently in the background while wagons symbolize logistical support for their mission. This engraving serves as both a historical record and an artistic interpretation of one man's account amidst turbulent times. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand accounts from those who experienced these battles firsthand. It reminds us of our duty to preserve history through art so that future generations can learn from past struggles and triumphs alike.
