EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "On the Way to Pretoria, approaching Dannhauser Station" takes us back in time to the Second Boer War in South Africa. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on June 30,1900, this print captures a crucial moment during the conflict. In this scene, we witness a military convoy making its way towards Pretoria. The wagons are filled with essential supplies such as mattresses and ammunition while horses and mules tirelessly pull them forward. General Joubert himself is present, overseeing the operation with great determination. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element of this engraving comes alive before our eyes. From the hitching of wagons to their coupling for efficient transport, Forestier skillfully portrays the logistical challenges faced by soldiers during wartime. The presence of a standard bearing Vierkleur flag proudly signifies Boer resistance against British forces. This symbol serves as a reminder of the fierce patriotism that fueled these brave men throughout their struggle for independence. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we cannot help but be transported into an era defined by courage and sacrifice. It allows us to reflect on the hardships endured by those who fought for their beliefs amidst challenging circumstances.
