Created by William Heysham Overend in 1879 and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the dramatic events that unfolded during the Anglo-Zulu War. The scene depicted here showcases the aftermath of the Battle of Isandhlwana on May 21st. As we observe closely, we witness brave soldiers laboriously retrieving wagons from the battlefield amidst the haunting remnants of war. The artist's attention to detail allows us to feel their exhaustion and determination as they work tirelessly against an unforgiving landscape. "The Zulu War, Isandhlwana revisited" serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and tragedy. It transports us back to a time when conflicts between colonial powers and indigenous peoples shaped nations' destinies.
