EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history as Lady Minto presents Colours to Herchmers Horse on their departure from Ottawa on the 19th of January, 1900. The image, taken by J. C. Hemment and beautifully lithographed by John Henry Frederick Bacon, showcases the grandeur and importance of this occasion. In the photograph, Lady Minto can be seen standing tall and elegant, adorned in her regal attire. As the wife of Lord Minto, Governor General of Canada at that time, she exudes grace and poise while presenting the Colors to Herchmers Horse - an irregular volunteer unit embarking for service in South Africa during the Second Boer War. The soldiers stand proudly beside their horses with military precision, donning their uniforms with utmost pride. The British flag flutters majestically above them as they receive this prestigious award from Lady Minto. This engraving from Bridgeman Images allows us to travel back in time and witness a momentous event that symbolizes bravery, loyalty, and dedication to duty. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers who fought valiantly for their country during one of history's most challenging conflicts. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded not only of our shared past but also of the resilience and courage exhibited by those who have served before us.
