EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Fort Curtis, a New Fort just built on the Ekowe Flats, Zululand" takes us back to 19th century South Africa. This historical artwork showcases the impressive military fortifications erected in Zululand during that time. The image depicts a fortified structure with a drawbridge entrance and commissariat stores ready for use. The site is meticulously designed with ramparts, guard tents covered by tarpaulin, and even a sunk depth for horses. The attention to detail is evident as reserve ammunition and guns are strategically placed throughout the fort. One cannot help but marvel at the grandeur of Fort Curtis rising from the Ekowe Flats. Its imposing presence serves as both protection and symbol of power in this tumultuous region. The redoubt stands tall against any potential threats that may arise. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on January 19th, 1884, providing readers with an insight into this newly constructed fortress. It offers viewers today an opportunity to glimpse into history and appreciate the engineering prowess required to build such structures. As we observe this print from afar, we can almost imagine ourselves transported back in time - witnessing soldiers patrolling its walls or hearing cannons firing across the plains of Zululand. This artwork truly captures a significant moment in South African history when fortresses like Fort Curtis played a crucial role in maintaining order and security within these lands.
