EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Basuto War (engraving)" takes us back to a significant chapter in history. Created by Johann Nepomuk Schonberg and published in The Illustrated London News on 12 February 1881, this engraving offers a vivid portrayal of the Basuto War. As we delve into the image, we are transported to Lesotho's rugged terrain during this tumultuous period. The scene depicts a group of British soldiers walking alongside their trusted Basuto scout through the stunning landscape surrounding Maseru, the capital city. Their journey takes them past Litlasas Cave, an iconic landmark that witnessed both conflict and refuge during these troubled times. The print captures not only the physicality of war but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of those involved. It serves as a testament to the bravery displayed by both sides throughout this prolonged conflict known for its fierce battles and strategic maneuvers. Through this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we gain insight into an era when political tensions ran high between colonial powers and indigenous communities. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to understand and learn from historical events that have shaped our world today. Let this evocative print serve as a reminder that even amidst chaos, there is always room for reflection, growth, and ultimately peace.
