EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, titled "How the Lancers saved their horses by marching dismounted" transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Boer War in 1902. Created by Allan Stewart, this illustration is a powerful depiction of resourcefulness and resilience in times of conflict. In this scene, we witness a group of British Lancers making a strategic decision to march on foot instead of riding their noble steeds. Clad in their distinctive uniforms and armed with weapons at the ready, these soldiers embody bravery and determination as they navigate through the South African terrain. The artist skillfully captures both the physical exhaustion and mental fortitude etched across each soldier's face. Their horses rest nearby, providing an evocative contrast between man and beast during wartime. This poignant image serves as a testament to the bond between humans and animals amidst adversity. Through meticulous detail, Stewart brings history to life before our eyes. The engraving showcases not only his artistic prowess but also provides valuable insight into military tactics employed during this period. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for Britain's colonial interests. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images reminds us that even in dire circumstances, innovative strategies can be devised to overcome challenges. As we gaze upon this print, let us honor those who served bravely while acknowledging that history has much wisdom to impart about perseverance and ingenuity in times of war.
