EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Kaffir War, driving the Kaffirs out of the Iron Mount and Waterkloof" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from The Illustrated London News on May 11,1878. Intriguingly detailed, the image showcases a military operation during the Kaffir War in South Africa. The topography of Iron Mount and Waterkloof is beautifully depicted as horses gallop across the landscape. The soldiers are seen strategically driving out the Kaffirs, referring to Xhosa warriors who resisted British colonial rule during these conflicts. The intensity of this historical event is palpable through every stroke of the engraver's tool. It serves as a reminder of both triumphs and struggles that shaped South Africa's past. This artwork offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon how power dynamics played out during colonization and how indigenous communities fought for their rights. Preserved within private collections until now, this print allows us to delve into a pivotal chapter in history while appreciating its artistic merit. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to witness this powerful visual narrative that encapsulates bravery, conflict, and cultural clashes. As we gaze upon "The Kaffir War" let us remember those who lived through these tumultuous times and honor their stories with respect and empathy.
