EDITORS COMMENTS
A Close Shave, an Incident in the Fight at Dordrecht: A Glimpse into the Intensity of War". This lithograph, titled "A Close Shave, an Incident in the Fight at Dordrecht" offers a poignant snapshot of a crucial moment during the Boer War. Created by John Charlton and now housed in a private collection, this print transports us back to 1900 when it was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic. The scene depicted is one of both danger and bravery. Amidst the chaos of battle, we witness soldiers on horseback engaged in fierce combat against their adversaries. The tension is palpable as bullets fly through the air and dust swirls around them. The title itself hints at just how perilously close these men are to losing their lives. Charlton's masterful use of engraving brings every detail to life – from the expressions etched onto each soldier's face to the intricate textures of their uniforms and horses' manes. This artwork not only captures a specific incident but also serves as a testament to all those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this historic image, let us remember those who risked everything for what they believed in. May it serve as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, courage can prevail – sometimes by just "a close shave.
