EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a significant moment in history as the British flag is ceremonially raised over Fort Salisbury, now known as Harare, in Mashonaland. The year is 1890, and this image symbolizes the beginning of colonialism in what would later become Rhodesia and eventually Zimbabwe.
The sight of the Union Jack being hoisted high above the fort speaks to the dominance and influence of British imperialism in Africa during this period. It represents not only political control but also cultural imposition on the indigenous people of Mashonaland.
The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated, as it marked the start of a new chapter for both Britain and Zimbabwe. The legacy of colonialism continues to impact these nations today, with ongoing debates about reparations, land ownership, and national identity.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this pivotal moment with stunning clarity and detail. The stark contrast between the British flag against the African landscape serves as a poignant reminder of the complex dynamics at play during this era.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of both the triumphs and tragedies that have shaped our shared history. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy of colonialism in Africa and prompts us to consider its lasting effects on politics, culture, and society.
