EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the British Occupation of Bloemfontein. The image showcases an evening concert taking place in the bustling market square, with the enchanting sound of bagpipes filling the air. The Highland Brigade soldiers proudly don their military uniforms and pith helmets, standing tall amidst a diverse crowd of civilians from all walks of life. This gathering symbolizes unity and community spirit as they come together to celebrate amidst the backdrop of war. The Second Boer War serves as the historical context for this powerful scene, reminding us of the challenges faced by both sides involved in this conflict. The engraving beautifully depicts not only British soldiers but also Boers, showcasing a shared experience within this town. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment where music transcends boundaries and brings people together despite their differences. It is an ode to resilience and hope amid tumultuous times. This remarkable lithograph by Amedee Forestier (1854-1930) evokes emotions that resonate even today. Preserved in a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who fought bravely during one of South Africa's most defining moments.
