EDITORS COMMENTS
The Palaver between Lewanika, the King of the Barotse Kingdom in present-day Zambia, and Mr. F.E. Lochner, acting on behalf of the British South Africa Company, in 1891, is a striking image that encapsulates the complexities of colonialism during the Victorian era. The black-and-white photograph, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, depicts the two men in deep conversation, with a group of onlookers, both black and white, gathered around them. Lewanika, dressed in royal attire, sits on a mat, while Lochner, wearing a suit and hat, is seated on a chair. The king's expression is calm and resolute, while Lochner's is serious and focused. The background is filled with a crowd of people, some of whom are intently watching the meeting, while others appear to be going about their daily business. The Barotse Kingdom, also known as Barotseland, was a significant power in the region, and its sovereignty was a point of contention between the British South Africa Company and the local rulers. The photograph captures a moment of negotiation and diplomacy, as Lochner and Lewanika discuss the terms of British protection and influence in the region. The image is a poignant reminder of the intricate web of power dynamics that characterized colonialism in Africa during the late 19th century. It also highlights the role of the press in documenting and shaping public perceptions of colonial encounters. The photograph was likely published in The Graphic to inform and entertain its readers, and to reinforce the idea of British imperial power and influence in Africa.
