EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Zulu War of 1879, specifically to Fort Melvill near Isandhlwana. The image showcases various key locations and elements of this historic event. From the spur of Oscarberg to the ridge where the wagons are stationed, every detail is meticulously captured in this engraving. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly Isandhlwana Hill, rising majestically amidst its surroundings. Its significance in the battle that took place here cannot be overstated. As our eyes wander through the frame, we encounter Bashee Valley and Sirayos Krantz, adding depth and context to this historical landscape. The roads leading from Ponts and towards Fort Melvill are also visible, reminding us of the strategic importance these routes held during wartime operations. Buffalo River flows gracefully through the scene while serving as a natural barrier that had to be crossed at The Waggon Drift. This vintage print not only captures an important moment in history but also showcases an illustrative technique popular during Victorian times. With its retro-styled charm and engraved details, it transports us back to a bygone era. As we admire this piece from Liszt Collection's archives, let it serve as a reminder of how art can preserve moments for generations to come – allowing us glimpses into significant events such as the Zulu War with unparalleled clarity and beauty.
