EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Native Women of Natal" offers a glimpse into the lives of South African women in the 19th century. Taken by an English photographer and now part of a private collection, this print showcases the beauty and resilience of these indigenous women. In this image, we see a group of native women engaged in various activities that reflect their daily lives. Some are seen working on roads or tending to corn crops, highlighting their dedication to laborious tasks. Others carry flutes or attendants, perhaps indicating their involvement in cultural ceremonies or celebrations. One striking aspect is the presence of husbands depicted as beer attendants. This suggests that brewing and consuming alcohol played an important role within their society. The inclusion of this detail provides valuable insight into social dynamics and traditional practices during that era. The composition exudes authenticity, capturing genuine moments frozen in time. Through the lens of photography, we are transported back to a period when South Africa was still known as Natal and its people were referred to as Kaffir. This remarkable photograph serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. It invites us to contemplate the rich heritage and everyday experiences of these remarkable women who contributed so much to South African culture.
