EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Going to market- the overland route" takes us on a visual journey back in time. Captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, this illustration is part of The Pictorial Edition of the Life and Discoveries of David Livingstone by J. Ewing Richie. The scene depicts a bustling African marketplace, where people from different walks of life converge. In the foreground, we see a group of Africans dressed in traditional attire, carrying spears and walking sticks as they make their way towards the market. A woman gracefully rides atop a cow while holding onto its horns for balance - a unique sight that reflects the diversity and ingenuity found within African cultures. Amidst towering trees that provide shade from the scorching sun, one cannot help but be immersed in this vibrant atmosphere. The presence of a loyal dog adds an element of companionship to this lively scene. This lithograph not only captures everyday life but also highlights cultural exchanges between Africa and Europe during colonial times. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of an era long gone. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, it reminds us to appreciate our shared humanity across continents and celebrate the rich tapestry woven by diverse cultures throughout history.
