EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Matabili Insurrection, Fort Matoli, on the Road to Buluwayo" takes us back in time to the tumultuous era of the Second Matabele War. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on June 6th, 1896, this print offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The scene depicts Fort Matoli, situated along the road leading to Buluwayo in Zimbabwe. As we observe this illustration closely, we can sense the tension and danger that permeated the air during this insurrection. The artist's attention to detail transports us right into the heart of battle. With its intricate lines and shading techniques, Prior skillfully captures both the grandeur of Fort Matoli and the chaos surrounding it. This artwork serves as a testament to his talent as an illustrator for Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection.
