EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A General Group" takes us back to the year 1900, during a significant moment in history. Published by Vanity Fair, this chromolitho masterpiece showcases the artistic talent of Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy. The National Army Museum in London proudly displays this timeless piece. In the photograph, we see a distinguished group of military officers gathered together. From left to right, we have Lt. General Sir Archibald Hunter and other notable figures whose names are not mentioned but hold great importance within British Empire's army hierarchy. This portrait was printed on the very day England withdrew its forces from South Africa during the Boer War. The image is filled with symbolism and satire, capturing the essence of colonial power dynamics and military caricatures prevalent at that time. Major General Hector MacDonald and Brigadier General Herbert Plumer stand alongside their fellow soldiers and officers under the watchful eye of General Sir Redvers Butler. As we delve into this artwork, it serves as a reminder of an era marked by conflict and imperial ambitions. It encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance through its use of vibrant colors in chromolithography technique. Preserved for generations to come, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in world history while showcasing Leslie Matthew Ward's exceptional talent as an artist.
