EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white litho print, titled "Making the Best of Things, Johannesburg Refugees at Durban" we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the Boer War. Created by George Soper in 1899, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on December 16th of that year. The scene depicts a group of Johannesburg refugees seeking solace and shelter amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. As they find themselves displaced from their homes, these resilient individuals gather together in Durban, determined to make the best out of their circumstances. Soper's meticulous attention to detail brings this poignant image to life. We see men, women, and children huddled together under makeshift tents or simple structures made from whatever materials were available. Their expressions reveal a mix of weariness and hope as they navigate through the hardships brought upon them by conflict. This litho print serves as a powerful reminder not only of the devastating impact wars have on innocent lives but also of humanity's remarkable ability to adapt and persevere even in times of adversity. It is an evocative snapshot frozen in time that invites us to reflect on our own resilience when faced with challenges. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, let us remember those who have endured similar trials throughout history while finding inspiration in their unwavering spirit.
