EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Anglo-Portuguese Boundary Commission in South Africa during the late 19th century. The engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II and featured in The Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into this historical event that shaped the region's borders. In this image, we are transported to an English camp nestled amidst native rest sheds. These traditional tribal dwellings provide a stark contrast against the temporary observatory set up by the commission. As members of the commission work diligently to demarcate boundaries between Angola and Zimbabwe, known as Mendigo Village at that time, their presence is felt throughout. The scene is alive with activity as Massi Kessi tribespeople from Beira engage with members of the commission. The interaction between cultures is evident as they exchange knowledge and experiences while working towards a common goal. Woodville's attention to detail brings this momentous occasion to life. Each stroke of his engraving highlights not only the physical landscape but also captures the spirit of collaboration and exploration that defined this boundary commission. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. It invites us to reflect on how these moments shape our understanding of nations' borders while appreciating Woodville's skillful portrayal of cultural diversity within South Africa's rich tapestry.
