EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in Africa's history. Standing proudly at Africa House, Shiwa Ngandu, is an old steam traction engine, serving as a relic of colonialism and agricultural development. The grand mansion was constructed on a vast estate in Northern Zambia during the 1920s by Sir Stewart Gore-Brown, an eccentric English aristocrat who left his mark on this land. The image transports us back to a time when steam engines were the backbone of transportation and agriculture in Africa. This magnificent machine symbolizes progress and innovation that once shaped the region's landscape. Its towering presence against the backdrop of Africa House evokes nostalgia for a time when colonial powers sought to leave their mark on foreign lands. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Sir Stewart Gore-Brown's legacy and his vision for transforming Shiwa Ngandu into an oasis of productivity. The steam traction engine stands as a testament to his determination and ambition. Today, this relic serves as more than just a reminder of our past; it represents resilience and adaptation amidst changing times. It reminds us that while technology may have evolved since then, the spirit of exploration and growth remains ingrained within African soil. Nigel Pavitt's skillful lens has captured not only an image but also the rich history embedded within it – farming practices intertwined with colonialism, African landscapes forever changed by human intervention, all encapsulated within one frame.
