EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Clery, K. C. B. , a distinguished British Army officer who played significant roles in both the Anglo-Zulu War and the Second Boer War. The photograph, taken in 1901 by J&S Cumming, captures Sir Francis Clery in a side view, highlighting his strong profile and commanding presence. Sir Francis Clery's military career was marked by his leadership during the Battle of Spion Kop, where he commanded the 2nd Division. This battle was a pivotal moment in the Second Boer War and demonstrated Clery's strategic prowess on the battlefield. The image reflects not only Sir Francis Clery's military achievements but also provides insight into Victorian-era colonialism and warfare. His distinctive moustache adds to his authoritative aura while representing the fashion trends of that time. Displayed against an outdoor backdrop, this portrait evokes a sense of adventure and exploration associated with South Africa during this period. It is part of Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" which documented key events from this tumultuous era. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded of Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Clery's contribution to British military history as well as his role within an empire grappling with its colonial ambitions.
