EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Outside the Jail at Pretoria immediately after the Arrival of Jameson and his Officers" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Barnes Wollen, this engraving captures the tense atmosphere outside the jail in Pretoria, South Africa. The scene depicts the aftermath of the infamous Jameson Raid, an ill-fated attempt led by Leander Starr Jameson to overthrow President Paul Kruger's government in 1895. As we gaze upon this print, we witness a group of officers on horseback surrounded by curious onlookers. The horses stand tall and proud amidst a crowd that is both intrigued and apprehensive. Wollen's attention to detail transports us back in time as he skillfully portrays the architecture of the jail and captures each individual's expression with precision. The tension is palpable; one can almost feel it emanating from this powerful image. Published in The Illustrated London News on February 25th, 1896, this lithograph offers a glimpse into an important chapter in South African history. It serves as a reminder of past conflicts and their enduring impact on society. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, let us reflect upon how historical events shape our world and appreciate artists like W. B Wollen who have preserved these moments for generations to come.
