EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - The Transvaal War, 1899-1901. Taken from The Illustrated London News in 1901, this lithograph by Walter Wilson depicts the intensity and chaos of war. The image showcases British soldiers bravely advancing towards the enemy, rifles at the ready. Their helmets and uniforms symbolize their allegiance to the empire as they fight for their country's interests in South Africa. However, amidst this display of strength and determination, wounded soldiers can be seen scattered across the battlefield. The photograph highlights not only the bravery of these soldiers but also the harsh realities of war. It serves as a reminder that even in victory, there are casualties and injuries that need medical attention. The engraving emphasizes both the importance of medicine and healthcare during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured over a century ago, it is impossible not to reflect on how far we have come since then. This print allows us to appreciate our progress while honoring those who sacrificed so much during this tumultuous period. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this lithograph continues to serve as a testament to human resilience and reminds us never to forget our past struggles or take peace for granted.
