EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a poignant moment in history as the Cape Town Highlanders bid farewell to the New Zealand Contingent departing for the front lines during the Boer War. The image, created by William Small and reproduced from an engraving, showcases the camaraderie and support shared among soldiers during times of conflict. The scene is filled with emotion as family members and friends gather to say their goodbyes. The soldiers stand tall and proud in their military uniforms, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead. The Cape Town Highlanders, known for their bravery and resilience, provide a hearty send-off to their comrades from New Zealand. The bustling backdrop of Cape Town adds depth to this historical moment. As steam rises from locomotives on nearby railway tracks, it symbolizes progress and movement towards an uncertain future. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who left everything behind in order to serve their countries. Created for publication in The Graphic on December 23rd, 1899, this illustration offers viewers a glimpse into a significant chapter in both South African and New Zealand history. It stands as a testament to the courage displayed by those who fought during this tumultuous period. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this lithograph continues to evoke admiration for its artistic representation of unity amidst adversity.
