EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled 'Thus did one hundred men keep three thousand savages at bay, ' captures a remarkable moment in history. Created by the talented artist Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton, this colour lithograph transports us back to the intense battle of Rorke's Drift during the late 19th century. The image portrays an awe-inspiring scene of bravery and resilience as a small group of just one hundred soldiers valiantly defend themselves against an overwhelming force of three thousand Zulu warriors. The composition skillfully conveys the tension and chaos that unfolded on that fateful day. Every detail in this artwork speaks volumes about the courage and determination exhibited by these brave men. Their uniforms proudly worn, their weapons firmly grasped, they stand united against all odds. It is a testament to their unwavering spirit and unyielding dedication to protect what they hold dear. This historic event depicted here serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs and defended their homeland with unwavering resolve. Skelton's masterful use of color brings life to this dramatic scene, evoking emotions within us as we witness this extraordinary act of heroism. As we gaze upon this powerful image from our private collection, let it serve as a tribute to those who have come before us - reminding us that even in times of great adversity, unity and bravery can prevail.
