EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Thus Did A Hundred Men Keep Three Thousand Savages At Bay" by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton captures a pivotal moment in history. Dating back to 1908, the image depicts a scene from the Anglo-Zulu Wars in South Africa during the late 19th century. In this remarkable artwork, we witness the bravery and resilience of a hundred British soldiers defending themselves against an overwhelming force of three thousand Zulu warriors. The composition showcases the intense battle as both sides clash with their respective weapons - rifles, spears, shields - creating a vivid display of color and movement. This historic event occurred following the annexation of Transvaal to Britain by Theophilus Shepstone in 1877. Originally intended to prevent Zulu attacks on Boer settlers, it unexpectedly led to conflict between the Zulus and British forces instead. Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton's masterful portrayal not only highlights the heroism and determination displayed by these brave men but also serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on indigenous populations. It symbolizes both the strength and tragedy that often accompany warfare. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in South African history. Through Skelton's artistry, we are reminded of those who fought valiantly against all odds and left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
