The Operations in Natal, the Action of 10 April at Sundays River
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright that depicts a crucial moment during the Second Boer War. The print showcases the intense military engagement between British forces and Boer fighters on 10th April, with intricate attention to detail. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of South Africa's picturesque landscape, specifically highlighting the Biggarsberg Range and Sundays River valley. As Hildyards Brigade advances, armed cavalrymen and infantry troops strategically position themselves near an outpost bridge while artillery guns are readied for action. The image captures both the chaos and precision of warfare as wagons hitched to transport valuable supplies navigate through treacherous terrain. Wright's masterful engraving skillfully portrays not only the physicality of battle but also its emotional toll. The intensity is palpable as bombs rain down from above, creating a sense of urgency among soldiers who valiantly defend their positions. Meanwhile, naval support arrives in full force to aid their land-based comrades. This lithograph serves as a historical record of this significant event published in The Illustrated London News in May 1900. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and learn from this pivotal moment in South African history.
