EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the historic moment of Lord Roberts embarking for South Africa on board the majestic "Dunottar Castle" at Southampton on 23 December. The image, created by Samuel Begg and part of a private collection, showcases the grandeur and significance of this event during the Second Boer War. In this print, we see Lord Roberts accompanied by Lady Roberts as they prepare to embark on their journey. The ship itself is an impressive sight, with its towering masts and elegant design symbolizing both power and adventure. Surrounding them are military personnel, including staff officers and troops ready to join the conflict in South Africa. The maritime setting adds a sense of anticipation and excitement to the scene. As Lord Roberts boards the ship under Captain Sir Donald Currie's watchful eye, one can almost feel the energy in the air. This engraving beautifully captures not only a historical moment but also highlights the bravery and determination displayed by those involved in this significant chapter of British history. Displayed originally in The Illustrated London News on 30 December 1899, this lithograph serves as a reminder of Lord Roberts' leadership during challenging times. It immortalizes his departure from Southampton while paying tribute to all those who embarked alongside him on their mission to support their country overseas.
