EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Escape of Steyn and De Wit" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the Boer War in South Africa. Illustrated by Frederick Judd Waugh, this lithograph captures a pivotal moment during the guerilla war that ensued after Pretoria fell into British hands. The scene depicts two figures, presumably President Marthinus Steyn and General Christiaan de Wit, making their daring escape from captivity. Dressed in military uniforms, they are seen riding horses with an air of determination and defiance. The intensity is palpable as they navigate through a rugged landscape, evoking a sense of adventure and danger. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable; it showcases the weaponry used by both sides during the conflict while also highlighting the colonial influence on South African history. The carriage behind them hints at their high-ranking positions within society. Beyond its historical significance, this image offers a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by those fighting for freedom against formidable odds. It serves as a reminder of how individuals can rise above adversity when driven by conviction. Preserved within this print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to human spirit amidst conflict. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one small chapter in an epic struggle that shaped nations and left an indelible mark on history.
