EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as a convoy of emigrants traverses the Makarakara country of Bechuanaland, now known as Botswana. Dating back to 1880, this image provides a glimpse into the challenges and adventures faced by settlers making their way through Africa during that time.
The dusty landscape and rugged terrain serve as a backdrop for the determined group of travelers, highlighting the harsh conditions they had to endure on their journey. The sheer vastness of the land emphasizes the magnitude of their undertaking, showcasing both the beauty and brutality of Africa's natural environment.
As we reflect on this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the resilience and fortitude exhibited by these early pioneers. Their courage in embarking on such a perilous expedition is truly commendable, serving as an inspiration for future generations.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the spirit of exploration and discovery that drove these settlers forward. It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in the face of adversity, reminding us of our shared history and interconnectedness with those who came before us.
