" A FOUNDER OF EMPIRE : THE NEWEST PORTRAIT OF MR.CECIL RHODES"
Cecil Rhodes was an English-South African mining magnate and politician in southern Africa who served as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony from 1890 to 1896. He and his British South Africa Company founded the southern African territory of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia), which the company named after him in 1895. He also devoted much effort to realising his vision of a Cape to Cairo Railway through then British territory. Rhodes set up the Rhodes Scholarship, which is funded by his estate. His legacy is much disputed.
Black & White was a Victorian illustrated weekly magazine. The weekly provided English readers with coverage of the Anglo-Boer War, with prolific period monochrome illustrations and photographs throughout. It also published fiction by Henry James, Bram Stoker, H. G. Wells, Robert Barr, A. E. W. Mason, Jerome K. Jerome and E. Nesbit. Others who wrote for Black and White included Samuel Bensusan, J. Keighley Snowden, Philip Howard Colomb, Nora Hopper, Henry Dawson Lowry, Robert Wilson Lynd, Theodore Bent, and Barry Pain. In its first year, Black and White published "A Straggler of '15'", a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, and began serializing "The South Seas", a series of letters by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Black & White had two different editions, the parent magazine, and a smaller, overlapping one named Black & White Budget. This is the larger parent.
