EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the historic moment of General Buller awarding Victoria Crosses during the Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases a grand parade, filled with soldiers and officers, as they gather to honor the brave recipients of this prestigious military decoration. The artist, Joseph Finnemore, skillfully portrays the scene with intricate detail and precision. Every figure is meticulously rendered, from General Buller himself to the courageous corporal nurse and Captain Reed. Their expressions convey a mix of pride, gratitude, and determination. The backdrop of this powerful image is set against the tumultuous events that unfolded between 18 March and 15 December 1899. It was during this time that battles raged on in Colenso and Ladysmith. The guns symbolize both destruction and resilience as they stand tall amidst the chaos. Finnemore's work perfectly complements H. W Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" providing readers with a visual representation of these heroic acts. This engraving not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also serves as a historical record documenting an important chapter in military history. As we gaze upon this lithograph print today, we are reminded of those who risked their lives for their country during times of war. It stands as a testament to bravery and sacrifice that should never be forgotten or taken lightly.
