EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful historical print captures the intense Battle of Ulundi, which took place on 4th July 1879. The scene depicts the British forces inside the square, repulsing the Zulus with their advanced weaponry such as Gatling guns and Martini-Henry rifles. Despite light casualties on the British side, the Zulus suffered heavy losses and were decimated in this fierce conflict. The artist behind this remarkable depiction was Melton Prior, whose original sketches of the battle showcased not only the strategic importance of Ulundi but also highlighted the incredible bravery displayed by the Zulu warriors. Prior was so impressed by their courage that he swore he had never witnessed anything like it before. Through this image, viewers are transported back in time to a pivotal moment in history when two formidable forces clashed in a brutal struggle for dominance. The Battle of Ulundi remains an important chapter in military history, showcasing both the horrors of war and acts of valor from all sides involved. This Rights Managed print is a poignant reminder of a significant event that shaped nations and lives forever.
