EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "War Preparations, shipping Horses at Southampton" takes us back to a crucial moment in history. Created by John Charlton in 1899, this print showcases the intense preparations for war that took place during that time. The scene unfolds at Southampton's bustling harbor, where soldiers and civilians work together to load horses onto the SS Gaika. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as ammunition columns are being organized nearby. Charlton masterfully captures the sense of urgency and determination that permeated this era. Intriguingly, amidst all the chaos and commotion, one can spot an incident occurring on the side. A soldier appears to be gently persuading a horse into compliance – a poignant reminder of the bond between man and animal even in times of conflict. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on October 14th, 1899. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of British military history when war preparations were underway. Now part of a private collection but available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this litho serves as both a historical document and a testament to Charlton's artistic prowess. Its detailed depiction invites viewers to immerse themselves in this significant moment from over a century ago.
