EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of tension and disagreement in the colonial era of South Africa. Taken in 1888, it showcases the "Servant Difficulty" that plagued the British Empire during this time. The image depicts nurseboys quarreling in Durban, Natal. In this snapshot from history, we see a group of young boys engaged in a heated argument. Their faces reflect frustration and upset as they express their differing opinions. These children were employed as nannies or nurses, responsible for taking care of the younger generation. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the complex dynamics between servants and their employers during colonial times. It highlights the challenges faced by both sides as they navigated their roles within society. The setting is Durban, Kwazulu Natal - an important location within South Africa's history. This image serves as a reminder of how power dynamics played out within the country at that time. Although taken over a century ago, this print continues to resonate today by shedding light on social issues such as child labor and inequality. It stands as an illustration of historical struggles while also reminding us to strive for progress and understanding in our present-day world.
