Cattle Equatorial Flies Plague Glossina Tsetse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the menacing presence of the Tsetse Fly, a notorious plague to cattle in equatorial Africa during the late 19th century. The intricate details of this historical image showcase the glossy wings and sharp features of this insect, known scientifically as Glossina morsitans.
In African history, these flies were a constant threat to livestock, causing devastation among herds and impacting local economies. Their presence was felt throughout the region, with farmers struggling to protect their animals from these relentless pests.
The black and white tones of this photograph add a sense of timelessness to the subject matter, highlighting the enduring impact that these insects had on communities in Africa. The sheer number of flies depicted serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those living in equatorial regions during this period.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image but a piece of history with this print. It serves as a testament to the resilience and perseverance shown by those who battled against such plagues in order to protect their livelihoods. This photograph is a powerful reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how even small insects can have significant consequences on human life.
