Taken by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, this image offers a rare glimpse into the history of law enforcement in Bulawayo. The scene depicts a group of Native Police officers standing tall and proud against the backdrop of their city. Dressed in traditional attire, they exude strength and authority as they protect their community. The details captured by the photographer's lens showcase their intricate uniforms adorned with badges and accessories that reflect both cultural heritage and colonial influence. The significance of this photograph is heightened by its publication in The Illustrated London News on October 28th, 1899.
