EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Formal Annexation of the Orange Free State, saluting the Royal Standard at Bloemfontein" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, this print captures the essence of a pivotal event during the Boer War. In this scene, we witness the formal annexation of the Orange Free State as it pays homage to British rule. The image showcases an impressive military display with soldiers saluting and raising their rifles in honor of the occasion. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this historical moment. Bloemfontein serves as a backdrop for this grand spectacle. Its picturesque landscape adds depth and beauty to an otherwise solemn affair. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of both triumph and conflict that shaped South Africa's history. "The Formal Annexation" is not merely a depiction of war; it symbolizes power dynamics between nations and cultures. It invites us to reflect on themes such as colonialism, nationalism, and identity. Through its meticulous artistry, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It reminds us that history is complex – filled with moments worth celebrating or questioning – all captured within one frame. As we study each brushstroke or line etched onto paper, let us remember those who fought bravely during these tumultuous times while contemplating our own place within these narratives from afar.
