EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Muteesa I of Buganda" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the life of an African ruler. The illustration is part of John Hanning Speke's renowned book, "The Discovery of the Source of the Nile" published in 1863. In this image, we see Muteesa I (1837-84), Kabaka (king) of Buganda, wearing his traditional costume. He stands tall with a regal presence, holding a spear by his side. His pet dog faithfully accompanies him as he gazes off into the distance. The scene seems peaceful and serene as Muteesa I appears to be retiring from his duties for a moment. Behind him lies a quaint village nestled amidst lush greenery—a testament to the beauty and tranquility that surrounded this African kingdom. Speke visited Buganda during his extensive expeditions through Africa between 1856 and 1863. This engraving captures not only Muteesa I but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage and leadership that existed within this region at that time. As we observe this historical print, it transports us back in time—inviting us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind its creation and gain a deeper understanding of African history.
