Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Commander in Chief of the forces in South Africa, 1902. Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts (1832-1914) was one of the foremost British military figures of Victorian times. Awarded the Victoria Cross in 1858 for his actions during the Indian Mutiny, Roberts is best known for his march to capture Kandahar during the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880. He was made Baron of Kandahar and Waterford in 1892 and promoted to Field Marshal in 1895. Roberts commanded the reinforcements sent to South Africa in 1900 after the setbacks of the early part of the Boer War. After his successful intervention in the South African campaign, he returned to England to become Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, a position which he held until 1904, when he retired from the army.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the esteemed Commander in Chief of the forces in South Africa in 1902. The artist Lafayette skillfully captures the essence of this prominent British military figure, Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts (1832-1914), who was known for his remarkable achievements during Victorian times. Roberts' distinguished career began with his heroic actions during the Indian Mutiny, which earned him the prestigious Victoria Cross in 1858. However, he is most renowned for leading a daring march to capture Kandahar during the Second Afghan War from 1878 to 1880. This triumph led to his appointment as Baron of Kandahar and Waterford in 1892 and subsequent promotion to Field Marshal in 1895. In response to setbacks faced by British forces during the early stages of the Boer War, Roberts commanded reinforcements sent to South Africa in 1900. His successful intervention turned the tide of the campaign and solidified his reputation as a brilliant strategist. After returning home victorious, Lord Roberts assumed command as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army until his retirement from active service in 1904. This striking portrait from "Celebrities of the Army" published by George Newnes in London (1902), showcases Lord Roberts donning an impressive military uniform adorned with medals and a sash. The image exudes power and authority while capturing both Robert's stoic pose and attention-grabbing red ostrich feather adorning his hat. It serves as a testament to one man's exceptional leadership skills that shaped history on multiple fronts throughout two centuries - making it an invaluable piece within historical archives today.
