EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Rising in Rhodesia, Reconnoitring by Night in the Selundi Range" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Edwin Fripp, this artwork captures the essence of a military operation during the uprising in Rhodesia. In this scene, we witness brave volunteers and scouts venturing into the darkness of night within the rugged terrain of Selundi Ridge. With Victoria Column looming ominously in the background, these courageous individuals are on a reconnoitering mission to gather vital information. As they navigate through the treacherous landscape, their presence is juxtaposed against native inhabitants who observe from afar. The Makoli Chief and his people watch with curiosity as these foreigners infiltrate their land. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere filled with tension and anticipation. Every stroke of Fripp's engraving skillfully conveys both the danger faced by these explorers and their determination to protect Rhodesia. "The Rising in Rhodesia" serves as a reminder of past conflicts that shaped nations and altered destinies. It offers us a glimpse into an era when bravery was tested amidst uncertainty and cultural boundaries were crossed for strategic purposes. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Fripp's artistic prowess but also invites contemplation on historical events that have shaped our world today.
