EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment in history as Her Majesty the Queen visits her wounded soldiers during the Boer War. The image, created by Samuel Begg and reproduced from a private collection, showcases the compassion and dedication of Queen Victoria towards her brave troops. In this scene, we see Queen Victoria surrounded by injured soldiers at Herbert Hospital in Woolwich. She is accompanied by Princess Christian and Princess Victoria of Schleswig Holstein, who also express their support for the survivors of war. The soldiers' injuries are evident as they receive medical attention while flowers symbolizing hope and recovery adorn the room. The print serves as an illustration for H. W Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" published in 1900. It highlights not only the gallantry displayed by these Irish soldiers but also emphasizes the importance of providing proper medical care to those wounded on the battlefield. Queen Victoria's visit demonstrates her unwavering commitment to her troops' well-being amidst challenging times. This powerful image reminds us of both the sacrifices made during wartime and the healing power of empathy and compassion.
