All's Well: A Peaceful Night at Rorkes Drift Fort during the Zulu War (January 1879) - A Historical Sketch by an ILN Special Artist In this evocative sketch, the moonlit scene at Rorkes Drift Fort unfolds peacefully, as a British sentry stands guard, reassuringly reporting "All's Well" to his comrades. This tranquil moment belies the intense heroism and bravery that had unfolded just a few weeks earlier, in the historic Battle of Rorkes Drift, which took place on January 22, 1879. The Zulu War, a significant conflict in the history of the British Empire, saw the British forces clash with the powerful Zulu army in South Africa. Rorkes Drift Fort, situated in the Natal Colony, was the scene of an epic and heroic defense by the British against a massive Zulu onslaught. This sketch, produced by an ILN (Illustrated London News) special artist, offers a glimpse into the quiet night at the fort, with the fortification standing proudly against the backdrop of the star-studded sky. The sentry on duty, standing tall and alert, is a testament to the unwavering resolve of the British forces during this pivotal moment in history. The peaceful scene in this sketch, with no immediate threat from the Zulus, serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination that defined the British defense during this critical period of the Zulu War. This historical sketch, brought to us by the esteemed ILN, is a valuable addition to any collection of Zulu War memorabilia or for those interested in the rich history of the British Empire.
