Description
This woodcut engraving was published as the cover of the June 10th, 1882 edition of London’s ‘The Graphic’. The image presents an interview that took place in Cape Town between Lady Florence Dixie and Cetshwayo, a prominent Zulu chieftain who was in British custody after his people’s defeat in the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War.
Her reports, followed by her A Defence of Zululand and Its King from the Blue Book (1882) and In the Land of Misfortune (1882), were instrumental in Cetshwayo’s brief restoration to his throne in 1883.
