EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Cetewayo, the renowned Zulu king, in an extraordinary moment during his visit to London in 1882. Cetewayo, also known as Cetshwayo kaMpande, is seen in the Royal Box of a London theatre, accompanied by Edward, Prince of Wales. The image captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its ornate decor and formal attire. Cetewayo's deposition as king of the Zulu kingdom in South Africa had occurred just a few years prior, following the Anglo-Zulu War. This visit to England was part of his exile, and he was received with great interest and curiosity by British society. The caricature artist, Terry Parker, masterfully portrays Cetewayo as a friendly and happy figure, smiling at the audience as he dons opera glasses. Edward, Prince of Wales, stands behind him, seemingly engrossed in the performance. The contrasting expressions of the two men highlight the racial and cultural differences between them, yet there is a sense of camaraderie and intrigue in the scene. The caricature also showcases the unique atmosphere of the theatre during an intermission, with the audience members staring intently at the royal guest. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the historical significance of Cetewayo's visit to London and the intrigue it generated.
