EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the tumultuous era of the Zulu War in 19th century South Africa. The engraving, created by an English School artist and part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into a significant moment during this historic conflict. The scene unfolds at noon near Buffalo River, where military recruits from the Natal Native Contingent gather for an important tribal parade. The topography of the land is beautifully depicted as soldiers cross through rugged terrain with determination etched on their faces. They march proudly under the scorching sun, protected by their indispensable sunshades. This image captures not only the bravery and commitment of these recruits but also highlights their crucial role in defending against Zulu forces. The significance of this moment cannot be overstated; it symbolizes unity and resilience amidst adversity. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice various elements that add depth to its narrative: Rorke's Drift looms in the distance as a reminder of previous battles fought; videttes stand watchfully on guard while recruitment efforts continue nearby. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous preservation work, this print allows us to delve into history and appreciate both its visual beauty and historical importance. It serves as a testament to those who sacrificed everything for their cause during one of South Africa's most defining conflicts - The Zulu War.
