EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mashonaland (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Zimbabwe's Mashonaland region. The image showcases a fortress with a large round tower, standing proudly amidst its surroundings. A cleft in the landscape leads our eyes towards this architectural marvel. In the foreground, we see a figure wearing a straw hat and traditional tribal attire approaching the fortress. This individual is believed to be Mr. Theodore Bent, an explorer who extensively documented his travels through Africa during that era. The scene also features intricately decorated heads displayed on poles, symbolizing both reverence and ancestral connections within the local community. These striking elements add depth and intrigue to the composition. A circular ruin can be observed in close proximity to the fortress, hinting at ancient civilizations that once thrived in this land. The juxtaposition of tradition and history creates an evocative atmosphere within this photograph. Through this remarkable visual representation captured by an English School artist for The Illustrated London News in 1892, we are transported back in time to witness Mashonaland's vibrant past. It serves as a testament to Zimbabwe's diverse cultural tapestry and invites us to explore further into its fascinating history beyond what meets the eye.
