EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from The Illustrated London News showcases the distinguished figure of (Henry) Bartle (Edward) Frere, a prominent British colonial administrator. Born in Clydach, Breckonshire, Wales in 1815, Frere's legacy is marked by his influential roles as Governor of Bombay (Mumbai) from 1862 to 1867 and later as Governor of the Cape and High Commissioner in South Africa starting in 1877. However, controversy surrounded Frere's tenure when he was recalled in 1880 due to his treatment of the Zulus. This print captures an important moment in history as it immortalizes Frere during a time when British colonialism was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of both the power and consequences that came with governing vast territories under the British Empire. The intricate details captured through this engraving highlight not only Frere's dignified appearance but also provide insight into the era's fashion and style. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a time where men like Frere played significant roles shaping nations across continents. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared history while acknowledging its complexities. It reminds us that behind every historical figure lies stories of triumphs, controversies, and lessons learned – all contributing to our collective understanding of human progress.
