EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed photo print, titled "Zanjueelah, the boatman of the rapids" captures a significant moment in history. Created by Thomas Baines in 1865, this colour lithographgraph offers a glimpse into the exploration and documentation of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. In this scene, we witness a small wooden boat navigating through treacherous rapids with skilled African boatmen at each end. These indigenous men expertly guide their vessel using long poles with forked tips. Standing alongside them are two European explorers tightly gripping double-barreled guns, symbolizing both colonialism and the dangers faced during these voyages. The surrounding landscape is teeming with life; lush trees including baobab and various palm species dotting the shore. A village comprised of round thatched huts stands as a testament to traditional ways of life in this region. Baines' attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. The flowing waves convey both beauty and power while showcasing the bravery required for such expeditions. This print serves as an invaluable anthropological document, shedding light on indigenous peoples' roles within exploration narratives. It invites us to reflect upon not only the flora and fauna but also the complex dynamics between different cultures during this era of travel and discovery.
