EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, titled "Baralong Natives in the Stadt at Mafeking scared by a Shell" transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Boer War. Created by Georges Bertin Scott, this print captures a moment of intense anguish and anxiety. Set against the backdrop of Mafeking, South Africa, we witness a group of Baralong natives gripped by fear as they encounter an incoming shell. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings their expressions of terror vividly to life. Their wide eyes and contorted faces reveal the raw emotions coursing through their veins. Scott's engraving skillfully conveys both the physical danger posed by war and its profound psychological impact on those caught in its crosshairs. The stark contrast between light and shadow heightens our sense of unease, mirroring the uncertain times these individuals found themselves in. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on June 9th, 1900 – serving as a powerful visual reminder for readers far removed from the conflict. Today, it continues to serve as a poignant historical document that sheds light on human experiences during wartime. As we gaze upon this haunting image captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the bravery exhibited amidst chaos but also of humanity's shared capacity for vulnerability when faced with overwhelming adversity.
