EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the front view of the Storehouse at Rorkes Drift, Buffalo River, around 1879. Taken by James Lloyd during the Anglo Zulu War, this image showcases the fortified post after the addition of loopholed stone walls in June 1879. The storehouse stands tall amidst a rugged landscape, surrounded by rocks and stones that blend seamlessly with its fortress-like appearance.

The photograph beautifully portrays the strength and resilience of those who defended it against Zulu attacks. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in history.
