EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history as it depicts a body of Chief Khamas Mounted Men, our Native Auxiliaries, passing through a defile on their way to Buluwayo. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the military prowess and strength of these native auxiliaries. The image portrays a group of mounted men riding confidently on their horses through a narrow passage known as a defile. The scene is filled with energy and determination as they make their way towards Buluwayo, located in what is now Zimbabwe. The horses' powerful strides and the riders' poised stances convey both grace and power. Chief Khamas's men were instrumental in providing support during this historical period, serving as valuable allies to the British forces. Their presence symbolizes unity and cooperation between different cultures for a common cause. The intricate details captured by the engraving technique bring life to every element within the composition. From the flowing manes of the horses to each warrior's traditional attire, every aspect has been meticulously rendered. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic magazine in 1893, showcasing its significance even during that time. Today, it remains an important piece of historical documentation that sheds light on colonial-era Africa and highlights the bravery and contributions made by Chief Khamas's mounted men.
