The Price of a Forced March, Artillery Horses Break Down
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that depicts the harsh reality faced by military horses during the Boer War in South Africa. Created by John Charlton in 1900, this powerful artwork captures the moment when these loyal animals succumb to exhaustion and collapse under the weight of their heavy artillery. The image portrays a scene filled with both sadness and admiration. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the physical toll taken on these magnificent creatures as they struggle against fatigue and strain. Their bodies are slumped, legs trembling, while sweat drips from their exhausted frames. The soldiers surrounding them wear expressions of concern and helplessness, realizing the high price paid for pushing these horses beyond their limits. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war - not only by human beings but also by those innocent animals who faithfully serve alongside them. It highlights the often-overlooked consequences of forced marches and emphasizes the need for compassion towards all living beings caught up in conflicts. "The Price of a Forced March" invites viewers to reflect on our responsibility towards animals involved in warfare throughout history. It urges us to consider how we can better protect and care for these brave creatures who endure unimaginable hardships at our command. This lithograph is an important historical document that sheds light on an aspect of war rarely discussed or depicted – reminding us that even amidst chaos and violence, empathy should never be forgotten.
