EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Plan of the Battle of Kambula" that took place on March 29,1879.

The monochrome image depicts a detailed map, meticulously illustrating the battlefield layout and positioning of British forces against their Zulu adversaries. The print serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document, capturing a significant moment in time when imperialism clashed with indigenous resistance. Located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Kambula was chosen as a battleground due to its geographical advantage for defensive tactics. This plan highlights key locations such as hills, rivers, and troop positions that played crucial roles during this intense conflict.
