EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The War in Matabele-Land" offers a rare glimpse into the tumultuous events that unfolded during an English military expedition in the late 19th century. The engraving, dating back to 1893, showcases Assistant Commissioner Salisbury and his courageous team as they navigate through the treacherous terrain of Matabele-Land. In this powerful image, we witness Major P. W. Forbes, Chief of Staff, leading his officers with unwavering determination. Alongside him stands Major Sir John Willoughby, renowned for his role as Chief Scout and Administrator of Mashonaland. Together, they command a formidable force against fierce Matabele warriors who fiercely defend their tribal land. The photograph also highlights key figures such as Mr. F. C. Selous and Mr. J.
