EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures a group of Zulu men, proudly dressed in their traditional attire, gathered at the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley, London, 1924-1925. The grandeur of the event is evident in the backdrop, with the towering architecture of the exhibition's buildings and the vast open space of Wembley Stadium. The Zulus, an ethnic group from South Africa, were one of the many ethnic groups showcased at the British Empire Exhibition, which aimed to celebrate the diverse cultures and territories under the British Empire. The exhibition was a significant event in British history, attracting millions of visitors and showcasing the latest technological, industrial, and cultural achievements of the empire. The Zulu men in the photograph are seen wearing their iconic attire, including animal skins, beadwork, and intricately designed headgear. Their stern expressions and the way they hold their spears and shields suggest a sense of pride and defiance in the face of colonialism. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world came together to celebrate the diversity and richness of the British Empire. It also serves as a reminder of the complex and often complicated history of colonialism and its impact on various cultures and communities around the world. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in exploring the history of the British Empire and its impact on the world.
