EDITORS COMMENTS
Monarch Of All He Surveys captures a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Durban, South Africa in 1890. This vintage engraving, with its intricate illustrative technique and Victorian charm, transports us back to a bygone era. The image showcases a darkey driver, exuding an air of authority as he takes control of his horse-drawn carriage. In this enchanting snapshot from the past, we witness the power dynamics at play during that time. The driver's regal presence suggests that he is indeed the 'monarch' of his domain - commanding respect and admiration from all who cross his path. His confident stance speaks volumes about the cultural significance attached to his role within society. The fine details etched into this nineteenth-century engraving are truly remarkable; they serve as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during this period. As we delve deeper into this historic artwork, we gain insight not only into Durban's transportation culture but also into broader themes such as race relations and social hierarchies. This piece invites us to reflect on our own heritage while appreciating the craftsmanship behind it. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with history - capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
