EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Tommy Atkins in Rhodesia, his Character Vindicated" by William Small depicts a powerful scene that showcases the compassion and humanity of British soldiers in Africa. The image, originally published in The Graphic on January 16,1897, tells a story of assistance and tribal unity. In this engraving, we see Tommy Atkins, representing the average British soldier, standing tall amidst the backdrop of Rhodesia. His character is vindicated as he extends a helping hand to an African tribesman who appears to be injured or unwell. This act of kindness highlights the benevolence and empathy that transcends cultural boundaries. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment with intricate details and vibrant colors. Through this print, we are reminded of the significant role played by British soldiers during their time in Africa - not only as warriors but also as compassionate individuals dedicated to providing medical aid and support to those in need. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Tommy Atkins and his fellow soldiers who left an indelible mark on Rhodesian history. It invites us to reflect upon our shared humanity and reminds us that acts of kindness can bridge divides and foster understanding between different cultures.
