EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of the Kaffir War" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Robinson, this engraving offers a glimpse into the intense military action during the Xhosa Wars in South Africa. The image showcases soldiers from the 90th Light Infantry and their horses as they navigate through treacherous terrain. The scene depicted is none other than Head Quarters, Fort Fordyce, where brave soldiers fought valiantly against formidable opponents. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere of tension and urgency, capturing the essence of war. These sketches serve as a visual record of a tumultuous time when conflicts arose over control of diamond fields and territorial disputes between European settlers and indigenous Xhosa tribes. They provide valuable insight into the challenges faced by both sides during this period. As we observe these historical illustrations, it becomes evident that they were originally featured in The Illustrated London News on June 8th, 1878. Preserved within a private collection, this particular print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its significance as an important document chronicling past events. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted access to this remarkable piece without commercial use restrictions. Let us cherish this opportunity to delve into history and reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during the Kaffir War in South Africa's Diamond Fields Horse era.
