EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allemachtij, from The Leaguer of Ladysmith, 1900" takes us back to the intense days of the Boer War. In this stunning colour lithograph by Captain Clive Dixon, we witness a moment frozen in time that encapsulates both the chaos and bravery of war. The image portrays a scene at the siege of Ladysmith, where a 6-inch gun is about to unleash its destructive power. Startled horses gallop frantically as an explosion looms in the background. The sheer force and magnitude of this cannon are palpable through the lens. Amidst all this commotion, one horse stands out - Allemachtij. With eyes wide open and muscles tensed, he embodies both fear and determination. His presence symbolizes not only the resilience of animals amidst human conflict but also their unwitting involvement in warfare throughout history. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph captures something more profound - it reminds us that even amidst destruction and violence, life persists. It serves as a reminder that nature endures despite our attempts to control it. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era defined by strife and turmoil. It prompts reflection on how far we have come since those dark times while acknowledging that echoes of such conflicts still reverberate today.
