EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Transport difficulties in Rhodesia" takes us back to the late 19th century when the Seventh Hussars faced a daunting task. The image showcases their valiant effort as they haul a heavy wagon across the treacherous bed of the River Umzingwane. The scene is filled with action and determination. The horses strain against their harnesses, muscles bulging under their exertion, while brave soldiers guide them through the challenging terrain. It's a testament to human resilience and teamwork in overcoming obstacles. Rhodesia's rugged landscape provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for this struggle. The river flows swiftly, its currents threatening to sweep away both man and beast. Yet, undeterred by these transport difficulties, these courageous men forge ahead. The artist Charles Edwin Fripp masterfully captures every detail of this arduous endeavor. From the worn-out wheels of the wagon to each soldier's determined expression, his attention to realism brings this historical moment vividly to life. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on January 9th, 1897 – a time when transportation challenges were common in Africa's vast wilderness. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' perseverance and adaptability amidst adversity. Today, we can appreciate this artwork not only for its historical significance but also for its portrayal of human strength and resilience in conquering nature's obstacles.
