EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating litho print titled "Reminiscences of Mafeking, with the Relief Column" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Boer War. This remarkable artwork by Ralph Cleaver, featured in The Illustrated London News on 7 July 1900, offers a glimpse into the action-packed scene that unfolded on 16 May. In this vivid illustration, we witness Major Baden Powell and his courageous troops from the Rhodesian Regiment and Royal Artillery engaging in battle. The image showcases their valiant efforts as they navigate through treacherous terrain towards Mafeking. Horses gallop alongside gunners operating powerful pom poms, ready to defend against any opposition they encounter. Colonel The Honourable H White leads his men fearlessly through an engagement near Maritsani while reminiscing about past triumphs and challenges faced along this arduous journey. The engraving masterfully captures the intensity of this pivotal moment, highlighting both the bravery of these soldiers and their unwavering determination to reach their destination. This historical artifact serves as a testament to the resilience and heroism displayed by those involved in this critical campaign. It allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made during times of conflict while reminding us of our shared human history. As we gaze at this extraordinary litho print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one chapter of South Africa's military legacy.
