EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "A Human Bridge in Swaziland, the Queen crossing a Swollen Stream" by Frederic de Haenen transports us to an extraordinary moment in time. The image showcases a remarkable display of unity and resilience as members of an African tribe form a human bridge across a raging stream, allowing their queen to safely cross. The scene is set against the backdrop of lush African landscapes, with vibrant colors and intricate details bringing this powerful moment to life. It is evident that this act of creating a human bridge requires immense trust, strength, and coordination among the individuals involved. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit found within communities facing adversity. The determination and selflessness exhibited by these tribal members exemplify the unwavering support they have for their queen and each other. Haenen's skillful artistry captures not only the physical feat but also conveys a deeper message about unity and sacrifice. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on September 22nd, 1900, providing viewers with an intimate glimpse into another culture during that era. Through this artwork, we are invited to reflect on our own lives - how can we build bridges instead of walls? How can we come together as one collective force to overcome obstacles? This lithograph serves as both a visual delight and an inspiring reminder of humanity's capacity for compassion and cooperation.
