EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print titled "All that was left of them" we are transported back to the tumultuous era of the late South African War. The artist, Richard Caton Woodville, captures a stirring incident that epitomizes heroism and sacrifice on Modderfontein Farm. The composition centers around a lone rifle standing upright amidst the desolate landscape, symbolizing the remnants of a fierce battle fought by the 17th Lancers. As our eyes wander through the image, we can almost hear echoes of gunfire and feel the tension in the air. Woodville's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this haunting scene, evoking emotions of both admiration and sorrow. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of those who bravely fought until their last breath against an unyielding enemy -the Boers. Through his artistry, Woodville immortalizes these fallen soldiers while paying tribute to their unwavering determination in what became known as a fight to the finish. Their sacrifice becomes etched into history as they become part of something greater than themselves. This print from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time and invites us to reflect upon not only the horrors of war but also on acts of bravery that transcend borders and time itself.
