EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, attributed to F. H. Hancox, captures a significant moment during the Siege of Kimberley in the late 19th century. The image showcases a placard erected by Mr Rhodes, believed to be Cecil John Rhodes himself, who was a prominent figure at that time. The scene depicts an era of turmoil and danger as women and children sought refuge from the ravages of war. In their desperate quest for safety, they were sent down into the depths of De Beers Mine for sanctuary. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the lengths people went to protect themselves during this tumultuous period. The placard stands tall against the backdrop of uncertainty, serving as both a warning and reassurance to those seeking shelter within the diamond mines. Its message is clear - it symbolizes hope amidst chaos, urging individuals towards safety while highlighting Mr Rhodes' efforts in providing protection. Photography has immortalized this historical event through its lens; capturing not only an important piece of South African history but also showcasing how art can preserve moments that would otherwise fade away with time. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time - reminded once again of humanity's resilience and determination even in times when everything seems lost.
