EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Unwelcome Attention from the Enemy, Gunners crossing the Klip River under Shell Fire" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by John Charlton in 1900, this print captures the intensity and danger faced by soldiers during the Boer War. The scene depicts gunners of the Imperial Light Horse bravely navigating their way across the treacherous Klip River while under relentless shell fire from enemy forces. The tension is palpable as horses gallop through murky waters, carrying these courageous men towards safety. Charlton's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke conveys a sense of urgency and fear. The smoke-filled sky and exploding shells serve as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on January 6th, 1900, providing readers with an insight into the bravery exhibited by soldiers fighting for their country. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a poignant reminder of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. It pays tribute to all soldiers who have faced unwelcome attention from enemies throughout history and highlights their resilience in times of adversity. This lithograph now resides within a private collection but continues to inspire viewers with its evocative portrayal of courage amidst chaos. Its historical significance remains intact, reminding us never to forget those who have fought valiantly for peace and liberty.
