EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the challenges faced by an Englishwoman living in Cape Colony, South Africa during the late 19th century. Titled "African Servants 9," it is part of a series depicting the struggles of British expatriates with finding reliable household help while abroad.
In this particular image, we see the Englishwoman looking exasperated as she navigates through what appears to be a chaotic scene involving her African servants. The caption suggests that she is surprised to find that the servant problem in Cape Colony is even more acute than back home in England.
The photograph offers a glimpse into the complexities of colonial life and highlights the cultural differences and challenges faced by those who ventured far from their homeland. It also sheds light on issues of power dynamics, class distinctions, and racial hierarchies prevalent during this period.
As viewers engage with this image, they are transported back to 1885 when British imperialism was at its peak and colonial subjects were often treated as mere commodities or laborers. Through this lens, we are reminded of the lasting impact of colonization on both colonizers and colonized peoples alike.
