EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Boer War in South Africa. Created by Frederic de Haenen in 1899, this print captures a pivotal moment where military personnel are seen valiantly rescuing vital communication wires under intense enemy fire. The scene depicted showcases the sheer bravery and resourcefulness of these soldiers as they work against time to safeguard crucial lines of communication. With bullets whizzing past them, their determination shines through as they risk their lives to ensure uninterrupted transmission between military units. Haenen's masterful engraving technique brings every detail to life, from the expressions on each soldier's face to the chaos unfolding around them. The artist skillfully conveys both tension and heroism in this dramatic composition, leaving viewers on edge as they witness this race against time. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic magazine on December 23rd, 1899. It serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to human resilience and sacrifice during times of conflict. Now preserved within a private collection, "In the Nick of Time, saving the Wires" continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction of courage amidst adversity.
