EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Destruction of Buluwayo, burnt on 3 November by Order of King Lo Bengula" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print captures the chaos and devastation that unfolded during the First Matabele War in Zimbabwe. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving showcases the aftermath of King Lo Bengula's fateful order. The once-thriving city of Buluwayo now lies in ruins, engulfed in flames and smoke. The artist skillfully conveys the destruction through his meticulous depiction of crumbling buildings and scattered debris. One can almost feel the heat radiating from the burning structures as they succumb to their fiery fate. Woodville's work not only portrays a military conflict but also sheds light on the power dynamics at play during this tumultuous period. King Lo Bengula's command demonstrates his authority over his people and sends a chilling message to those who dared oppose him. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of both the horrors and complexities inherent within human conflicts. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war can ravage even once-vibrant communities like Buluwayo. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its vivid portrayal of an event that forever altered Zimbabwean history.
