A propos de cet article

Date from captions. An historically significant photographic record, which includes the nascent country of Rhodesia, a state envisioned by Cecil Rhodes to create a white dominated society based on his theories of white superiority. Captioned photos date from 1888 (Cambridge Rugby Football team) to 1900 (BSAP), consisting mostly of rare images of early Rhodesia, its military and the British South African Police. The two volumes document the compiler's journey from Corpus Chrisi College in Cambridge (including a visit to the historical roadside pub "The Coach and Horses" on High Street and team photographs of historic Rugby Football teams in England, with two teams posed in front of a then ivy-covered arched doorway in The Old Court at Corpus Christi College, in Cambridge), a steamship voyage to Africa (possibly after being recruited directly from college by a Cecil Rhodes initiative), other International Rugby Football team photos [ass. English-African], and service in the paramilitary British South African Police force, showing their social, recreational, sporting and home lives. Also, of great sporting interest, is that the compiler documents the arrival of Rugby Football teams deep into the interior of the African continent in the 19th century. One album has 42 photos varying in size from c. 3x3 inches to c. 9x11 inches, all pasted recto and verso onto thirteen 9x11 inch album leaves ; and one album has 36 - c. 4x4 inch photos, all loosely inserted recto and verso into ten 8x10 inch album leaves. Both albums are completely broken (one album retains its original covers) with all leaves, photos and pencil captions being variously toned or faded, some notably in the first album ; the ink captions, photos and leaves are at least very good in the second album. All leaves from both albums are now nicely housed in removable archival sleeves held within two separate 3-ring binders for ease of viewing and study. Remaining as found, these albums together provide an exceptionally diverse documentary chronicle. It is particularly noteworthy that members of the British South African Police formed part of Baden-Powell's besieged forces at Mafeking, as well as having served as part of Plumber's relief column to Mafeking in May, 1900.
