EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Matabili Insurrection, Defeat of the Rebels between Movene Kraal and Gwelo on 9 May" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1896, this print captures the intensity and drama of the Second Matabele War. In this scene, we witness the decisive defeat of rebel forces led by Chief Mumindwane. The Salisbury Column, under the command of Major Hoste and Major Hurrell, emerges victorious against all odds. The engraving showcases their military prowess as they valiantly charge forward on horseback. Woodville's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. Every stroke of his brush conveys the tension and bravery displayed by both sides during this conflict. The composition draws our eyes towards the central clash between rebels and soldiers amidst an African landscape. "The Matabili Insurrection" serves as a testament to Zimbabwe's rich history and its struggle for independence. It reminds us of the courage exhibited by those who fought for their beliefs during times of turmoil. This lithograph is part of a private collection but was originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 20th, 1896. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures that future generations can appreciate its artistic value while gaining insight into an important chapter in Zimbabwean history.
