EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the 19th century African agriculture, showcasing Native Africans engaged in beating Sorghum or Sorgo. The image is taken from "The Life and Explorations of Dr. Livingstone" a publication dating back to approximately 1875. In this scene, we witness the laborious process of cultivating Sorghum, which was grown for various purposes such as fodder, silage, or syrup. The Native Africans are depicted vigorously pounding the crop with traditional tools, demonstrating their deep connection to the land and their dedication to sustaining their communities. The photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when exploration and expedition were at its peak. It highlights Dr. Livingstone's work as he ventured through Africa during this time period, shedding light on both the natural beauty and cultural practices of the continent. As we observe this historical image captured by an English School artist from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of Africa's rich agricultural heritage and its people's resilience in utilizing resources available to them. Moreover, it emphasizes how exploration played a crucial role in documenting these invaluable traditions that have shaped African societies for centuries. This print not only showcases an important aspect of African history but also invites us to appreciate the diversity and ingenuity found within different cultures across our world.
