EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sekhome, Khamas son, c. 1910" captures a significant moment in history during the colonial era in Africa. The platinum print showcases Sekhome, the son of Khama III, who was the revered king of the Bamangwato people in Bechuanaland (now Botswana). The image measures 16.5x11.9 cm and belongs to a private collection. It is part of an album called "Photographs from the Phalaptswe and the neighbourhood" which offers a glimpse into life in Bechuanaland at that time. Khama III played a pivotal role in his country's history as he led his people through British colonization, ultimately resulting in Bechuanaland becoming a British protectorate under his reign. This portrait serves as a testament to his royal lineage and influence. In this half-length portrait, Sekhome can be seen wearing an elegant hat while engrossed in reading a book. The composition exudes an air of intelligence and sophistication. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is A. E Hargreave, who captured not only Sekhome's likeness but also provided valuable documentation about African culture during this period. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the complexities of colonialism and its impact on African societies while celebrating the resilience and dignity of individuals like Sekhome within their own cultural heritage.
