EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical print titled "The A. D. C and the Goats" we are transported back to the year 1900, amidst the chaos of the Leaguer of Ladysmith. Created by Captain Clive Dixon, this colourful lithograph captures a lighthearted moment in an otherwise tumultuous time. At first glance, we see a soldier dressed in his uniform, accompanied by two mischievous goats. The soldier's role as an A. D. C (Aide-de-Camp) suggests that he holds a position of authority or importance within the military ranks. However, it seems that even those in positions of power cannot escape the playful antics of these cheeky animals. One goat stands on its hind legs with horns poised for action while the other playfully butts against a rake nearby. Their comical expressions add to the overall sense of amusement conveyed through this artwork. "The A. D. C and the Goats" is not just any ordinary depiction; it is a cartoon-like representation filled with satire and humor. Through clever use of imagery, Captain Clive Dixon invites us to reflect on how even during times of conflict and hardship, moments like these can provide much-needed respite from reality. This print reminds us that sometimes laughter can be found in unexpected places – even amidst war-torn landscapes like Ladysmith in 1900.
