EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment during the Zulu War in April 1879. The image showcases the Etshowe relief force, led by British soldiers, as they courageously cross a stream in South Africa. Created by William Heysham Overend and now part of a private collection, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into history. The scene is filled with action and tension as wagons are carefully guided across the rushing waters. Whip-wielding soldiers expertly maneuver oxen while hitching and coupling them to the transport vehicles. Every detail is meticulously engraved, showcasing the precision and skill required for such an operation. The significance of this moment cannot be understated. The Etshowe relief force played a crucial role in supporting their comrades who were besieged at Fort Eshowe during the Anglo-Zulu War. This daring crossing represents their determination to provide much-needed supplies and reinforcements to those trapped inside. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the bravery and resilience of these soldiers facing incredible odds. It serves as a reminder of both the hardships endured during war and the unwavering spirit that drives individuals to overcome adversity.
