EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Military Paper Chase, Natal, South Africa" we are transported back to the 19th century and immersed in a thrilling scene of military action. The print showcases an intense game being played amidst the picturesque hills of Natal. The image depicts a group of soldiers on horseback engaged in what appears to be a parlour game with elements of ball games. Their horses gallop across the hilly terrain as they chase after a paper target, creating an exhilarating spectacle against the backdrop of South Africa's stunning landscape. The players' determination is palpable as they navigate through the challenging terrain, showcasing their skill and agility. Each rider seems focused on capturing victory while displaying their equestrian prowess. This artwork not only captures a momentary glimpse into military life but also highlights the camaraderie and competitive spirit that often accompanies such pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict or training exercises, moments of joy and leisure can still be found. Through this engraving by English School from the 19th century, we are granted access to history's pages where military men temporarily set aside their duties to engage in friendly competition amidst nature's beauty. This print truly encapsulates both the thrill of sport and the serenity found within Natal's enchanting landscapes.
