EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Artillery fording the caledon at Karreepoort Drift" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration is from the book After Pretoria: The Guerilla War, published in 1902 by John Charlton, an accomplished artist of his time. The scene depicted showcases the challenges faced by the British army during the Boer War in South Africa. With great attention to detail, Charlton captures the movement and difficulty as artillery soldiers navigate their way through a treacherous river crossing. Their uniforms and costumes reflect the colonial era, reminding us of Britain's military presence on foreign soil. The engraving transports us to a time when conflicts were fought with guns and weapons rather than modern technology. It serves as a powerful reminder of how warfare has evolved over time. As we observe this historical artwork, we can't help but appreciate its artistic value and historical significance. This particular print is part of a private collection that has been preserved throughout generations. Bridgeman Images allows us access to these remarkable pieces of art that provide glimpses into our past. Let this image serve as a window into history, reminding us of both the struggles endured by those who came before us and our collective journey towards peace and progress.
