EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "A Lesson of the War in South Africa, how Our Troops fight now" by Allan Stewart takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Boer War. This thought-provoking artwork, originally published in The Illustrated London News on 2 March 1901, offers a glimpse into the changing nature of warfare and its impact on education. In this scene, we see a school building nestled amidst the rugged topography of South Africa. Inside the classroom, young students eagerly gather around their teacher who stands before them with an engraving depicting soldiers engaged in battle. The image serves as a powerful visual aid for their lesson on military tactics and strategies employed by our troops during wartime. As war rages outside these walls, it becomes apparent that traditional schooling is adapting to reflect current events. The artist skillfully captures both innocence and curiosity on the faces of these children as they absorb knowledge about real-life conflicts happening just beyond their doorstep. This lithograph not only highlights the importance of education but also sheds light on how society copes with adversity through learning. It reminds us that even during times of turmoil, knowledge remains a powerful tool for understanding and navigating complex situations. Through this print's historical context and artistic execution, viewers are invited to contemplate not only the lessons taught within classrooms but also those learned from war itself – lessons that shape nations and individuals alike.
