EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the intense Battle of Kambula Hill during the Zulu War on 29 March. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, captures a pivotal moment in history that shaped South Africa's future. The scene depicts a vast military encampment sprawled across the rugged terrain. Tents dot the landscape as soldiers lie strategically on the ground, preparing for battle. In the distance, we see a redoubt and cannons ready to strike at any moment. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and tension. Atop Kambula Hill stands a laager of wagons forming an impregnable defensive position against attacking Zulu warriors. Cattle are also enclosed within their own protective enclosure nearby. This fortified summit serves as both refuge and vantage point for British forces engaged in this fierce conflict. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical elements of war but also conveys its emotional impact through his intricate engravings. We can almost feel the adrenaline pumping through our veins as we witness this historic clash between two formidable forces. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on 24 May 1879, providing readers with a vivid visual account of one of the most significant battles fought during the Anglo-Zulu War. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, let us remember those who fought valiantly on that fateful day at Kambula Hill – their sacrifice forever etched into history
