EDITORS COMMENTS
Homeward Bound: A Scene from the Nyasaland Estuary of the River Plym, Devon, at the British Empire Exhibition, Wembley Park, London, 1924 This evocative postcard image captures a moment of quiet determination as an African woman, dressed in traditional attire, makes her way homeward bound along the picturesque Nyasaland estuary of the River Plym in Devon. The year is 1924, and the setting is the British Empire Exhibition held at Wembley Park in London. The East African Pavilion, specifically the Nyasaland Court, served as the backdrop for this poignant scene. The woman, with an air of resilience, skillfully balances a large load on her head while carrying her baby on her back. The load, wrapped securely in a basket, appears to be made up of various goods, possibly for sale or for personal use. The golden bangles on her arms add a touch of elegance to her strong and capable appearance. The British Empire Exhibition was a grand celebration of the British Empire's achievements and showcased various aspects of its territories, including their people, culture, and resources. This postcard image offers a glimpse into the daily life of an African woman, providing a poignant reminder of the diverse and rich tapestry of people and cultures that made up the British Empire at the time. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the strength, grace, and resourcefulness of this remarkable woman as she navigates her way homeward bound, carrying the weight of her world on her shoulders.
