EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "When Kimberley was relieved by French (litho)", we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image captures the meeting between Major General John French, later Field Marshal, and Cecil Rhodes, former Prime Minister of Cape Colony. This historic encounter took place at the Sanatorium Hotel in Kimberley on the evening when the town was finally relieved. The atmosphere is palpable as these two influential figures come together amidst the backdrop of a roaring fireplace. Dressed in their distinguished military uniforms, they exude authority and determination. Their handshake symbolizes not only their personal connection but also represents a united front against adversity. This scene takes us back to the Second Boer War and specifically to the Battle of Paardeberg, where Kimberley faced a prolonged siege. The relief of the town marked a turning point in this conflict that shaped British Empire history. Begg's lithographic artistry beautifully captures this historical moment with intricate details and precision. Through his skillful engraving technique, he brings life to each character present in this composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of the courage and resilience displayed during times of war. It serves as an enduring testament to those who fought for freedom and unity within our shared past.
