The End of the Zulu War - A Historic Moment for Peace
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by John Charles Dollman and now part of a private collection, captures the poignant moment marking the end of the Zulu War. The image depicts a scene from 1st September 1879, where colonial soldiers gather at Saddle Rock to witness the signing of peace stipulations between General Colley and Zulu chiefs. The composition beautifully portrays the rugged landscape of South Africa, with its natural embrasures providing an imposing backdrop to this significant event. As Colonel Brackenbury and Mr. Herbert stand on a summit overlooking Ulundi, they are joined by notable figures such as Sir G Wolseley and Mr. T Shepstone. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this print - from the expressions on each character's face to their meticulously rendered uniforms. The atmosphere is palpable; one can almost feel the weight lifted off everyone's shoulders as they come together in pursuit of lasting peace. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst conflict and bloodshed, diplomacy can prevail. It immortalizes a crucial turning point in history when two opposing forces set aside their differences and embraced dialogue instead. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, let us reflect on its significance - not only as a testament to human resilience but also as an enduring symbol of hope for future generations striving for harmony amid adversity.
