EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking image, titled "English Help Cannibals," is a satirical print from the late 19th century, created during the height of European colonialism. The print, held in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a grinning Englishman in pith helmet, holding out a group of African children towards a group of cannibals. The Frenchman, standing to the side, points an accusing finger at the Englishman, suggesting the allegation that the English were giving the African cannibals children to eat. The use of satire in this print is a powerful commentary on the politics and propaganda of the time. European powers were vying for control over African territories, and accusations of barbaric practices were often leveled against each other. This print, with its exaggerated and caricatured depictions, serves to challenge the dominant narrative of European superiority and the justification of colonialism. The image is also a reminder of the complex and often problematic relationship between Europe and Africa during this period. The Englishman's whiskered face and smug expression convey a sense of arrogance and entitlement, while the cannibals are portrayed as savage and otherworldly. The children, who are the intended victims, are depicted as passive and helpless, adding to the sense of tragedy and injustice. Despite its provocative title, it is important to note that this print is not an actual record of historical events, but rather a reflection of the political climate and attitudes of the time. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often distorted narratives that have shaped our understanding of history, and the importance of critically examining sources to uncover the truth.
