EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting beauty of Isandlwana Mountain in 1879. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a larger collection that showcases scenes from India, South Africa, and the infamous Zulu War. Isandlwana Mountain holds a significant place in history as it was the site of a devastating British defeat on January 22nd, 1879. The aftermath of this battle is evident in the photo, with carts and wagons scattered across the rocky hillside. The rugged cliffs and outcrops surrounding the mountain add to its majestic allure. The image provides a glimpse into the transport logistics during that time period, with hitched wagons and coupled carts dotting the landscape. It serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and vulnerability amidst nature's grandeur. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past conflicts while appreciating the artistry behind early photography. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how war can shape landscapes forever. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable piece available for public viewing without any commercial restrictions. So let us immerse ourselves in its depth and detail; let us ponder upon its historical significance; let us remember those who fought bravely amidst these very mountains all those years ago.
