EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Achille Beltrame captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Colenso during the Second Boer War on December 15, 1899. In this scene, we see Boer forces led by Louis Botha overpowering the English army under General Sir Redvers Buller. The engraving depicts a group of men engaged in fierce combat, with horses and carriages adding to the chaotic atmosphere of war. The image conveys the brutality and violence of battle, as well as the determination and courage of those involved. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Beltrame, we are reminded of the harsh realities of colonial conflicts and the devastating impact they had on both sides. The struggle for power and control over territories is evident in every detail of this print, from the armed soldiers to the anguished expressions on their faces. Through his artistry, Beltrame brings to life a pivotal moment in history that forever changed South African colonial settlements. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and colonization, urging us to remember those who fought bravely but ultimately suffered at its hands.
