EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a moment in time in Cape Colony, South Africa, during the year 1885. An Englishwoman is depicted in the image, facing what she describes as an acute servant problem even more challenging than back home in England. The woman's expression conveys a sense of surprise and perhaps frustration at the difficulties she is encountering abroad. The photograph provides a glimpse into the complexities of colonial life and the challenges faced by British expatriates living in distant lands. It highlights the cultural differences and societal norms that can create obstacles for those trying to navigate unfamiliar territories. Through this image, we are reminded of the privilege and power dynamics inherent in relationships between colonizers and colonized peoples. The presence of African servants serving their English mistress serves as a stark reminder of the inequalities that existed during this period of history. Overall, this print offers a window into a specific moment in time, shedding light on issues of class, race, and power dynamics within colonial societies. It prompts us to reflect on our own assumptions about history and how it continues to shape our world today.
