EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Beating Sorgo, Village Blacksmiths" takes us back to the 19th century in Africa. The image showcases a scene of bustling activity as African villagers engage in the age-old craft of metalwork. In this particular moment, they are focused on beating sorgo, an essential cereal crop used for sustenance and agriculture. The print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone" a book published by Murdoch around 1878. It offers us a glimpse into the adventurous life of explorer David Livingstone and his encounters with African communities during his expeditions. In this scene, we witness the harmonious blend of tradition and progress as blacksmiths utilize their skills to shape iron tools within the confines of their humble hut. The composition exudes authenticity, capturing not only the physical labor but also the spirit and resilience that characterized African villages at that time. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where exploration met cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures intertwine through shared practices such as farming and craftsmanship. This print beautifully encapsulates both the beauty found in everyday life in Africa's villages and highlights its importance in shaping history beyond borders.
