EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "East and West Africa" takes us back to a significant era in history. Created by Kenneth Shoesmith, this colour lithograph showcases the diverse landscapes and cultures of Africa during the reign of King George V. The image is part of a private collection, making it even more special. The print was originally featured in The Kings Book in May 1935, published by Raphael Tuck. It beautifully captures the essence of the British Empire at its peak, symbolizing imperialism and global influence. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the vastness and interconnectedness of our world. The photograph depicts various scenes from East and West Africa, highlighting both the similarities and differences between these regions. We see bustling railway stations with trains ready to embark on their journeys across these lands. The presence of people from different ethnic backgrounds adds depth to this ethnographic portrayal. As we reflect on this pre-World War II image, it serves as a reminder that despite political boundaries or cultural diversity, humanity shares common aspirations for progress and unity. This visual representation invites us to appreciate the beauty found within each nation while recognizing our collective responsibility towards building a harmonious future. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come so that we may continue exploring history through art's lens.
