EDITORS COMMENTS
This front cover image from 'The Graphic, An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' dated March 27th, 1886, presents a poignant and intriguing scene from Bechuanaland, Africa. The Victorian era comes to life as we witness a man in full British apparel, clad in a carriage boot and a tweed jacket, seated inside a bell tent, clearly annoyed by the presence of an insect or a lizard that has found its way into his campsite. The man's hat lies discarded on the tent floor, and his expression conveys a sense of frustration and annoyance. The engraving, taken from 'The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume 33. January to June, 1886', offers a glimpse into the challenges and nuisances of camping in the African continent during the late 19th century. The man's fly-infested clothes, the pests that plagued the campsite, and the harsh, arid landscape serve as a reminder of the hardships endured by the British during their expansion of the British Empire. This image, though unsigned, offers a unique and intriguing insight into the daily life of British explorers and settlers in Africa during the Victorian era.
