EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of pure joy and celebration at Charterhouse boarding school in 1900. The boys are seen jubilantly celebrating the news of the Relief of Mafeking during the Boer War, their faces beaming with excitement and relief.
The illustration shows the schoolboys in various states of attire, as the news reached them shortly before bedtime. Some are still dressed in their uniforms, while others appear to have hastily thrown on whatever clothing they could find. Despite their disheveled appearance, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie and unity among the boys as they come together to mark this important moment in history.
The historical significance of this event is not lost on these young students, who understand the import of what has transpired. Their cheers and laughter echo through time, reminding us of a time when even schoolboys were touched by the events unfolding around them.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded that history is not just made by great leaders and armies, but also by ordinary individuals caught up in extraordinary circumstances. These boys at Charterhouse may have been far from the front lines, but their celebration serves as a poignant reminder that war touches us all in different ways.
