EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Natives making pombe" takes us back to the 19th century in Africa. The print showcases a scene of African natives engaging in the traditional process of making pombe, a popular local drink. The image is part of an illustrated collection called "The Life and Explorations of Dr Livingstone" published by Adam & Co around 1880. It offers a glimpse into the adventurous world of renowned explorer David Livingstone, who extensively explored Africa during that time. In this particular illustration, we witness the intricate steps involved in creating pombe. Natives can be seen gathered around large pots, carefully brewing the beverage using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to perfecting this beloved drink. The engraving beautifully captures not only the cultural significance but also the spirit of exploration that characterized Africa at that time. It provides viewers with a window into an era when Western explorers like Livingstone sought to understand and document different cultures and traditions. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill employed by English School artists and gain insight into African customs from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites contemplation on how societies evolve over time while preserving their unique heritage.
