EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the enrolling of City of London Volunteers on New Year's Day, 1900, at the Guildhall for service in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with eager men ready to answer their country's call to arms. In this print by Allan Stewart, we see rows upon rows of volunteers dressed in military attire, standing tall and proud as they await their turn to be enlisted. The artist skillfully portrays the atmosphere of anticipation and determination that permeates through the crowd. The Guildhall, an iconic symbol of London's civic pride, serves as a fitting backdrop for this historic event. Its grand architecture adds gravitas to the occasion while reminding us of the city's deep-rooted traditions and commitment to national defense. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on January 6th, 1900. It not only commemorates an important moment but also highlights the power of visual storytelling during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from over a century ago, we are reminded of those brave individuals who willingly left behind their homes and families to serve their country overseas. Their sacrifice and dedication continue to inspire generations today.
