This engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Zulu War. The scene depicted is Fugitives Drift, Buffalo River, where Lieutenant Melvill's bravery and determination are immortalized. The image showcases the rugged beauty of South Africa's riverside landscape as it was during the 19th century. A large stone stands prominently in the foreground, serving as a symbol of survival and resilience. It was upon this very stone that Lieutenant Melvill clung for dear life during a harrowing episode of the Anglo-Zulu War. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the tension and fear that must have gripped those involved in this conflict.
