EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "1820 Settlers and their Boer Convoys, 1909" by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton takes us back to a significant era in South African history. The image showcases a diverse group of individuals, both male and female, who were part of the pioneering movement that shaped the nation. The settlers are depicted in various states of transportation, sitting atop wagons as they embark on their journey into uncharted territories. Their attire reflects the fashion of the time, with men donning hats and women dressed elegantly in long dresses. Amidst this scene, one can spot weapons such as rifles symbolizing the challenges faced during this period. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his portrayal of each figure's facial expressions and hand gestures. Some appear deep in thought or engaged in conversation while others seem to be gesturing towards something ahead - perhaps indicating an uncertain future or pointing out directions. This print not only captures a specific moment but also represents broader themes such as colonialism, imperialism, and empire building that were prevalent during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by these early settlers who played a crucial role in shaping South Africa's history. Through its historical significance and artistic merit, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the past while appreciating Skelton's skillful depiction of people from different walks of life united by their shared journey towards new horizons.
