EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Umpanda, the esteemed King of the Amazulu, in 1849. Created by talented artist George French Angas as part of his renowned series "The Kafirs Illustrated" this lithograph beautifully captures the regal presence and grandeur of Mpande, who ruled over the Zulu people from 1840 until his passing in 1872. In Plate 11, we see Umpanda seated on an exquisite chair adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors. His majestic attire is complemented by a striking necklace and jewelry that reflect his status as a revered monarch. The shield placed beside him symbolizes both protection and power. Angas skillfully portrays Umpanda's dignified posture and commanding gaze, capturing the essence of leadership and authority. This image transports us to South Africa during the nineteenth century when Zululand thrived under its sovereign ruler. As we admire this historical photograph, let us appreciate not only its artistic brilliance but also recognize its significance in documenting African history. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Africa while honoring Umpanda's legacy as a respected king among his people.
