EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph titled "An Orderlys Journey from Fort Gordon, Basutoland, to Kingwilliamstown, Cape Colony" takes us on a visual expedition through the rugged landscapes of 19th century Africa. The image depicts a group of men braving the challenges of their journey under the cover of night. The scene is set amidst wet weather as rain pours down upon them. A lone figure stands in the foreground, his silhouette illuminated by an orange glow emanating from a lantern. He appears to be securing their belongings while others can be seen crossing a river in the distance. The print captures both the physical and emotional toll this arduous journey has taken on these individuals. We witness sick members being cared for and weary travelers finding respite in a humble house along their route. As our eyes wander across the composition, we are transported through various landmarks such as Aliwal North and Maseru. Each stop along this treacherous road offers nights lodging and fleeting moments of rest before they continue towards their final destination - Kingwilliamstown. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only the physical challenges faced during colonial times but also glimpse into the resilience and determination that guided these orderlies on their perilous expedition. It serves as a poignant reminder of human perseverance against all odds.
