The Crowning of a Great Career
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the remarkable lithograph by Max Cowper. This print, part of a private collection, depicts an iconic event that took place on 2nd January 1901 during the Boer War in South Africa. The image portrays the crowning achievement of a distinguished career as Her Majesty Queen Victoria bestows an honor upon Lord Roberts. The renowned British military leader is being elevated to an earldom for his exceptional service and triumphs in the war. With her regal presence and dignified demeanor, Queen Victoria symbolizes power and authority. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for H. W Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" published by Harmsworth in 1900. It serves as a visual testament to Lord Roberts' unwavering dedication and strategic brilliance throughout this conflict. The composition exudes grandeur and significance with its meticulous attention to detail. Every brushstroke brings forth the atmosphere of this historic occasion at Osborne House where the interview between Her Majesty and Lord Roberts takes place. As we gaze upon this litho, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how one man's great career is recognized and celebrated amidst tumultuous times. It stands as a tribute not only to Lord Roberts but also to all those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country during times of war.
