EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during the Boer War in 1905. The image showcases a scouting party of the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers) perched on a kopje, or hillock, carefully surveying their surroundings. Created by Adrian Jones, this sculpture in low relief beautifully depicts the scene with intricate detail. In the foreground, one soldier holds onto their horses while three others strategically position themselves for support. One brave soldier peers over the edge of a cliff, his gaze fixed on what lies ahead. Their mission is clear - reconnaissance and gathering vital information to aid their comrades. Adrian Jones himself had an impressive military background before becoming a renowned sculptor. Having served as a veterinary officer in the cavalry, he participated in various conflicts including Abyssinia and the Transvaal War. This bas relief was used as a modello for the Carabiniers' war memorial on Chelsea Embankment. The photograph not only serves as a reminder of those who fought bravely during times of war but also pays tribute to their sacrifice and dedication to duty. It symbolizes remembrance and commemoration for all those who have served their country throughout history. With its striking composition and historical significance, this print from Fine Art Finder is sure to captivate any viewer interested in military history or artistry capturing moments frozen in time.
