EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The War in Basutoland, South Africa" during the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, depicts a scene from this historical conflict that took place in Lesotho (formerly known as Basutoland). In the foreground of the image, we see the principal town with its stone church and various buildings including the abode of Chief Magistrate. Smoke rises ominously from fires that have been set ablaze by attackers. The chaos and destruction are evident as war engulfs this once peaceful region. The architectural details of the stone church and other structures highlight both their beauty and vulnerability amidst such turmoil. This artwork serves as a reminder of how conflicts can disrupt not only lives but also cultural landmarks. "The War in Basutoland" was featured in The Illustrated London News on December 11,1880. It offers viewers a glimpse into this significant event through artistry and storytelling. As we observe this print, we are transported back to a time when tensions ran high between different factions within South Africa. It is a testament to both the power of art to preserve history and our responsibility to learn from past conflicts for a more peaceful future.
