EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the regal presence of Khama III, the esteemed king of the Bamangwato people in Bechuanaland (now Botswana), alongside his wife. Taken around 1910 by A. E. Hargreave, this platinum print showcases their dignified connection and offers a glimpse into the colonial era. Khama III, born circa 1837 and passing away in 1923, played a pivotal role in shaping the history of his nation. Under his reign, Bechuanaland transformed into a British protectorate. This image serves as a testament to his leadership and influence during this significant period. The composition exudes an air of authority as Khama III stands tall beside his wife. Their traditional attire reflects their cultural heritage while also hinting at their elevated status within society. The couple's expressions convey both strength and unity, symbolizing their commitment to leading their people with grace and wisdom. As we observe this remarkable portrait today, it reminds us not only of the historical significance surrounding Khama III but also highlights the enduring power of love between two individuals who shared a profound bond amidst challenging times. Preserved within a private collection, this platinum print allows us to appreciate the beauty captured by Hargreave over a century ago. It invites us to reflect on Africa's rich history while honoring those who shaped its destiny under complex circumstances.
