EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Ladysmith-Day in Pall Mall" takes us back to the historic events of March 1900. The print, created by Frederic de Haenen, showcases a momentous day in London during the Boer War. The scene is set on the bustling streets of Pall Mall, where crowds have gathered to celebrate Ladysmith Day. As torches light up the night sky and flags flutter proudly above, vehicular traffic comes to a standstill as people cheer and sing with enthusiasm. The atmosphere is electric with rejoicings as Londoners show their support for the empire's efforts in South Africa. In this vivid depiction, we witness an array of emotions: from hoarse shouts of encouragement to joyous songs filling the air. The grandeur of Mansion House stands tall amidst the chaos while prestigious clubs line both sides of Pall Mall. The artist masterfully captures this significant moment in history through intricate details such as gas-lit street lamps illuminating faces filled with pride and determination. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of unity and resilience during times of war. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable print allows us to relive Ladysmith-Day's extraordinary celebrations over a century later. It serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a testament to human strength and unwavering patriotism.
