EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a menu card designed by the talented Mr. Leighton Ward for a send-off supper to honor the brave Cape Squadron of the Royal Horse Guards before their departure for South Africa during the Second Boer War in 1899. The event took place at Hyde Park Barracks on November 27th, and this exquisite menu offers us a glimpse into the culinary delights that awaited these courageous soldiers. Mr. Ward's creativity shines through as he masterfully captures the essence of South African cuisine with his carefully crafted design. From succulent Mafeking Mutton to delectable Pretoria pheasants, this feast promises an unforgettable gastronomic experience inspired by the region where our valiant troops were headed. As we admire this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of both the bravery displayed by these soldiers and their connection to home through food. This menu not only nourished their bodies but also provided them with comfort and familiarity amidst challenging times. Preserved by Illustrated London News Ltd. , this print from Mary Evans Prints Online transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind its creation but also offering insight into how even something as simple as a menu can hold great significance in commemorating important events in history.
