EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Troglodytic Conchologists" we are transported back to the year 1900, amidst the chaos of The Leaguer of Ladysmith. A colour litho by Captain Clive Dixon, this image captures a unique moment in time. The scene unfolds deep within a cave, where two figures can be seen engrossed in their work. These troglodytic conchologists, or shell collectors, have taken refuge underground and continue their passionate pursuit even amidst adversity. With pickaxes and shovels in hand, they diligently search for precious shells buried within the earth. A donkey stands nearby, patiently waiting as its companions delve into the ground. Its presence adds an element of rustic charm to the composition while symbolizing resilience and adaptability. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on the shells to the textures of rock formations surrounding them. It is evident that Captain Clive Dixon possessed both artistic talent and a keen eye for capturing moments frozen in time. This image serves as a reminder that even during times of turmoil and uncertainty, human curiosity persists. The troglodytic conchologists embody determination and passion for their craft despite challenging circumstances. Through their actions, we are reminded that beauty can be found even in unexpected places if one is willing to dig deep enough – both literally and metaphorically.
