Amidst the turbulent backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a fierce anti-imperialist movement emerged, fueled by the injustices and atrocities committed in the name of colonial expansion. "There Was A Hand-To-Hand Struggle" (WR Wollen, 1902), depicting a brave resistance against imperialist forces, encapsulates the raw emotion and determination of those who refused to be subjugated. The image of King Cetewayo (1902) stands as a symbol of defiance and resilience, as the Zulu king led his people in a valiant fight against British imperialism. The Anti-Imperialist Exhibition of 1931, as depicted in this poster (photo-offset lithograph), showcased the collective efforts of those who opposed the oppressive practices of imperial powers. The entrance to the British Legation in Pekin (1900), with its oldest servant and his son, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of imperialism. "It Became Necessary To Make A Stand" (1902, GB) and "Our Devoted Men Worked on with a Will" (1902, AP) illustrate the unwavering commitment and sacrifice of anti-imperialist fighters, who refused to back down in the face of overwhelming odds. The "Bonny Men Led The Advance" (1902, Richard Caton Woodville II), with their fierce determination and courage, continue to inspire us today as we reflect on the rich history of the anti-imperialist movement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and self-determination.
