EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "An Underground Tea-Party for Convalescents" takes us back to the 19th century during the Boer War in South Africa. The image captures a poignant moment of respite amidst the chaos of war. In this scene, we see a group of convalescent soldiers gathered together underground, seeking solace and camaraderie. The atmosphere is somber yet hopeful as they engage in an unconventional tea party. Major Riddell and Captain Honourable H Davey are among those present, their uniforms bearing witness to their military service. Colonel Dick Cunyngham VC presides over the gathering, his presence commanding respect from all who surround him. As these brave men sip tea from delicate cups, one can almost feel their exhaustion melt away momentarily. The artist George Percy Jacomb-Hood masterfully captures both the physical toll of war on these soldiers' faces and their unwavering spirit. This lithograph was originally published in The Graphic on April 2nd, 1900 - a testament to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of the resilience and humanity that can be found even in times of great adversity. It is a tribute not only to those who fought bravely but also to the power of friendship and unity during trying times.
