EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Melton Prior and now part of a private collection, offers a vivid depiction of the intense military action during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The scene captures the pivotal moment known as "The Surprise of Robertss Horse" at Koorn Spruit. In this heart-pounding illustration for The Illustrated London News, published on 12 May 1900, we witness Captain Pack Beresford's horsemen galloping through a treacherous ambush set by the Boers.
