The Cape Mounted Rifles on Police Duty
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century in South Africa. The image showcases a scene filled with action, drama, and the rugged beauty of the African landscape. In this print, we witness a group of brave men from the Cape Mounted Rifles crossing rivers and traversing difficult terrain while on police duty. Their mission? To track down a thief who has been causing havoc in local farms. With their horses galloping through the water and leaving spoor behind, they are determined to catch the culprit. The farmer Van Dop, portrayed in this artwork, anxiously looks on as he fears losing his precious stock due to theft. His farmhouse stands tall in the background as a symbol of safety and protection. As we follow their journey through this picturesque setting, we can't help but wonder if they will arrive at their destination - Burghendorp - where they hope to find some trace of the thief. The artist skillfully captures every detail: from the flowing rivers to the majestic wonderbaum trees dotting the landscape. This engraving not only highlights an important moment in history but also invites us into an exciting game of cat-and-mouse between law enforcement and criminals. It serves as a reminder of both bravery and perseverance displayed by those who protect our communities even under challenging circumstances.
