EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "The Defender of Mafeking at Pretoria" transports us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Boer War. The print, created by Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, captures the grand reception of Major-General Baden-Powell in Market Square, Pretoria. In this scene, we witness the heroism and admiration bestowed upon Baden-Powell as he is welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd. Horses prance with elegance while onlookers gather around, eagerly awaiting his arrival. The bustling market square serves as the backdrop for this historic event. "The Defender of Mafeking at Pretoria" not only commemorates Baden-Powell's courageous defense of Mafeking but also symbolizes the resilience and determination exhibited by all those involved in the conflict.
