EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Rorkes Drift: The morning after the attack" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle that took place in South Africa. The scene depicts Rorkes Drift, a small British outpost located in Natal during the Anglo-Zulu War. Despite being vastly outnumbered by Zulu warriors, the defenders successfully repelled their attackers. This image showcases the resilience and determination of those who fought valiantly to protect their position. The meticulous detail and digital cleaning of this artwork allow us to immerse ourselves in its historical significance. It was originally featured as an illustration in Cassells History of England, published around 1890. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear whispers from that fateful morning after the attack. We witness soldiers surveying their surroundings with weariness but also relief etched on their faces. The remnants of battle are visible – scattered debris and damaged structures serve as reminders of the intense conflict that unfolded just hours before. This engraving serves as both a visual testament to human courage and a reminder of our shared history. It is through artworks like these that we gain insight into past events and honor those who played pivotal roles within them.
