EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait print captures the essence of Henry Bartle Frere, a prominent British colonial administrator of the 19th century. With his confident gaze and distinguished moustache, Frere exudes authority and power in this depiction.
Born in Clydach, Wales, Frere served as Governor of Bombay from 1862 to 1867 before being appointed as Governor of the Cape and High Commissioner in South Africa in 1877. However, his controversial treatment of the Zulus led to his recall in 1880.
The colour-printed wood engraving beautifully showcases Frere's historical significance and political influence during a time of intense colonialism. His balding head and elegant ribbon add to the regal aura surrounding him.
As one looks at this portrait, they can't help but be drawn into Frere's piercing stare and strong presence. The intricate details captured by the illustrator truly bring out the essence of this influential figure from British history.
This piece serves as a reminder of both the complexities and impact of colonial rule during that era. It is a testament to Frere's legacy as a key player in shaping British imperial policy in India and South Africa.
