EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Rising in Rhodesia, Mounted Infantry of Colonel Pagets Column messing at Macloutsie" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Edwin Fripp in 1896, this print captures the essence of the British presence during the uprising in Rhodesia. In this scene, we see a group of British soldiers known as the Mounted Infantry casually engaged in their daily activities at Macloutsie. The soldiers, affectionately called Tommy Atkins, are seen interacting with each other amidst the rugged terrain and tribal surroundings. Their relaxed demeanor contrasts with the tense political climate that characterized this period. Colonel Paget's Column played a crucial role during this time of unrest and rebellion against colonial rule. As they traverse through Victoria and Tuli regions of Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), these brave men faced numerous challenges while maintaining order on behalf of the British Empire. Fripp's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts both the landscape and characters within it. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on September 19th, 1896, providing readers with an insight into life on the frontlines. Today, this lithograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon past conflicts and their impact on societies around the world.
