EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Lord Roberts on his momentous march to Kandahar in 1880. Published as an illustration in the esteemed book "Heroes of History" by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, this image showcases the indomitable spirit and courage of one of Britain's most revered military leaders. Lord Roberts, born Frederick Sleigh Roberts, was a towering figure who played a pivotal role in shaping the British Empire. Fondly nicknamed "Bobs Bahadur" he led Scottish soldiers with unwavering determination and became an emblematic hero during his time. Mounted on horseback and donning a distinctive pith helmet, Lord Roberts exudes authority as he leads his troops through India's rugged terrain towards Afghanistan. The composition beautifully juxtaposes him against a backdrop of foot soldiers clad in kilts, symbolizing both unity and diversity within the empire. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the imperialistic era that shaped our world today. Lord Roberts' expedition to Kandahar represents not only military prowess but also highlights the complex dynamics between colonial powers and their subjects. This print is more than just art; it serves as a poignant reminder of history's triumphs and tribulations. It immortalizes Lord Roberts' legacy while inviting us to reflect upon the multifaceted nature of sport, leadership, and imperialism intertwined within our shared past.
