EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Fighting between Portuguese and British South Africa Companys Troops in South Africa, Incidents during the Companys Expedition to Mashonaland" captures a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intense clash between Portuguese and British troops during their expedition to Mashonaland. The scene depicted is filled with tension as both sides confront each other on the banks of Macloutsie River. The British flag proudly flies high above a military residence, symbolizing their presence and authority. In the foreground, we see tribal huts belonging to the Bamangwato tribe who witness this fierce battle unfold before them. Notably, an electric searchlight illuminates Palapye town where key incidents take place. The administrator of Mashonaland can be seen saluting from Matlaputla Fort while nearby Fort Salisbury stands strong amidst the chaos. This engraving offers a glimpse into a pivotal conflict that occurred within Bechuanaland and Mashonaland regions of South Africa. It serves as a reminder of the fight for power and control over these territories between two major colonial forces at that time - Portugal and Britain. As part of Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this historical artwork provides valuable insight into past events shaping our world today.
