The Matabele Rising - A Glimpse into the Tumultuous Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Matabele Rising (litho)" takes us back to a significant historical event - The Matabele Rising in Zimbabwe. Created by Frank Dadd in 1896, this lithograph captures the intensity and chaos of the uprising. In this scene, we witness Mr. Burnham, an American scout and assistant commissioner, bravely shooting amidst a military conflict. Horses gallop frantically as people scramble to escape from the clutches of the rebellious Matabele natives led by their prophet Mlimo. Commissioner Armstrong can be seen valiantly leading his troops against the fierce resistance. The engraving beautifully depicts both the danger and bravery that characterized this tumultuous period in history. It offers a glimpse into a time when colonial powers clashed with indigenous communities fighting for their freedom. As we observe this artwork, it becomes evident that it serves as more than just an illustration for The Graphic newspaper; it is a testament to human resilience and determination during times of strife. Now preserved in private collection thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts, "The Matabele Rising (litho)" invites us to reflect on our shared past while reminding us of the importance of understanding different perspectives within historical narratives.
