EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Major Lothaire, of the Congo Free State" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into a turbulent period in history. The image showcases Major Lothaire, an influential figure in the Congo Free State, as he stands proudly with his arms crossed. The print captures the essence of power and authority that Major Lothaire possessed during this time. His stern expression reflects his determination to protect and supply arms for the military charge against those who opposed British traders in the region. The engraving hints at a story filled with conflict and danger. Major Lothaire's involvement in arming natives condemned by some suggests complex dynamics within colonial rule. As we delve deeper into this historical context, it becomes apparent that weapons played a crucial role in maintaining control over territories like the Congo Free State. Mr Stokes' meticulous attention to detail is evident through his depiction of various armaments surrounding Major Lothaire. From defensive weaponry to infantry weapons, each item serves as a reminder of the volatile nature of this era. As we contemplate this intriguing artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to an era where power struggles were fought not only with words but also with weapons. This engraving allows us to reflect on how history has shaped our present-day understanding of colonization and its consequences on indigenous populations across continents.
