The Capture of De Wet's Convoy at Reitz, 6 June, the Attack upon the Boer Wagons by Colonel De Lisle's Force
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a lithograph print that depicts a dramatic moment during the Second Boer War in South Africa. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published in The Illustrated London News on August 3,1901, this artwork captures a significant event in British military history. In the image, we see Colonel De Lisle's force launching an intense attack on a convoy of Boer wagons near Reitz. The scene is filled with action as soldiers engage in fierce combat amidst billowing smoke and flying bullets. Major Sladen leads reinforcements to support their comrades against the determined resistance of the Boers. Woodville's engraving skillfully portrays the chaos and tension of war while highlighting Britain's military prowess. This historical anecdote showcases Great Britain's involvement in conflicts beyond its borders during this era. The print serves as both a visual record and a testament to British culture and European imperialism prevalent at that time. It offers viewers an insight into one aspect of European history shaped by colonial ambitions and power struggles. This lithograph from Bridgeman Images not only captures an important moment but also invites us to reflect on how events like these have shaped our world today.
