EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of South Central Africa. Taken in Kimberley, Cape of Good Hope, in May 1890, it showcases some of the pioneers who played a crucial role in making this region part of the British Empire. In the image, we see seven men standing and sitting together. From left to right (standing) are J A Grant, John Moir, and Joseph Thomson. Seated from left to right are Rochfort Maguire, H H Johnston, Cecil Rhodes, and Alexander Colquhoun. These individuals were instrumental in shaping the destiny of South Central Africa during this time. The photo is an illustration from Sir Harry H Johnson's autobiography titled "The Story of My Life" published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company in Indianapolis in 1923. It offers a glimpse into the lives and achievements of these influential figures. Their presence symbolizes the era known as the Scramble for Africa when European powers vied for control over various regions on the continent. Cecil Rhodes' vision and determination were particularly noteworthy as he played a pivotal role not only in expanding British influence but also establishing diamond mining operations that would shape Kimberley's future. This image serves as a testament to colonialism's impact on South Central Africa while providing insight into Victorian-era exploration and British expansionism during the late 19th century.
