EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The March to Pretoria" we are transported back in time to the Second Boer War in South Africa. The image captures a unique moment of camaraderie amidst conflict, as British officers engage in a friendly market scene with a loyal Boer farmer. As we delve into the details, our eyes are drawn to the bustling road leading to Pretoria, where soldiers and civilians alike traverse on their respective journeys. Amongst them stand British officers, resolute yet approachable, engaging with the local community. The focus of this lively interaction is centered around butter and forage - essential supplies needed by both sides during wartime. It is remarkable to witness how commerce can transcend boundaries even during times of strife. Melton Prior's masterful litho engraving brings this historical event vividly to life. The intricate lines and rich textures add depth and dimensionality, making us feel like active participants in this vibrant scene from over a century ago. This print serves as an important reminder that humanity can still find common ground amidst conflicts. It encapsulates the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by individuals caught up in war while highlighting moments of unity that bridge divides between nations.
