EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Night Sortie From Mafeking" by Richard Caton Woodville II depicts a pivotal moment during the Siege of Mafeking in the Second Boer War. Lasting 217 grueling days from October 1899 to May 1900, this historic event is brought to life through Woodville's masterful artistry. In this print, we witness British soldiers clad in their distinctive pith helmets advancing cautiously under the cover of darkness. The intense atmosphere is palpable as they traverse the dark battlefield, rifles at the ready and stars twinkling above them. Each soldier exudes determination and courage as they face off against their Boer adversaries. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique, capturing both the physicality and emotional strain experienced by these brave men. Their resolute expressions speak volumes about their unwavering commitment to duty and loyalty. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on both sides during this significant conflict. It also pays tribute to Robert Baden Powell, who commanded the British forces defending Mafeking with great resilience. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those involved in one of South Africa's most challenging battles. Through its powerful imagery and historical significance, "Night Sortie From Mafeking" continues to captivate viewers and preserve an important chapter in military history for generations to come.
