EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the "Highland Sports of the Prince Alfreds Guard" at Port Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope. The image captures a moment in time when Scottish traditions and culture were celebrated in South Africa. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as members of the Prince Alfreds Guard engage in various highland sports activities. Men dressed in traditional Scottish kilts can be seen participating in events such as caber tossing, hammer throwing, and tug-of-war. Their athletic prowess is evident as they demonstrate their strength and skill. The backdrop of Port Elizabeth adds to the charm of this print, with its picturesque coastal scenery blending harmoniously with the vibrant festivities taking place on land. The Highland Games held by the Prince Alfreds Guard served not only as a display of physical prowess but also as an opportunity for camaraderie among soldiers stationed at Cape of Good Hope. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on July 3rd, 1875, providing readers with a glimpse into these unique sporting events happening thousands of miles away from home. Today, it serves as a testament to both South Africa's rich cultural heritage and its historical ties to Scotland. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an English School artist, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and continents while preserving moments that would otherwise be lost to history.
