EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mafeking: The Wolf that never Sleeps" takes us back in time to the Second Boer War, specifically during the Siege of Mafeking. Lasting a grueling 217 days from October 1899 to May 1900, this historic event tested the resilience and determination of both sides involved. The image portrays a soldier deep in thought, his pensive expression reflecting the weight of his responsibilities. Dressed in military uniform, he represents one among many who fought tirelessly during this prolonged conflict. The artist's skillful lithography brings out intricate details, emphasizing every line and contour on the soldier's face. Major F. D Baillie, Correspondent of the Morning Post, supplied material for this artwork. His firsthand accounts offer valuable insights into life at Mafeking during those trying times. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike. As we gaze upon this engraving from Hatherell's collection, we are transported to South Africa over a century ago. It is an opportunity to reflect on history and honor those who endured unimaginable hardships during this significant chapter in world history. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' Private Collection and stands as a testament to their commitment to preserving historical artworks for future generations.
