EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Parade of the Highland Companies of the Capetown Volunteers, at Capetown, South Africa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of military pride and camaraderie. The image showcases a grand parade featuring the Highland Companies of the Capetown Volunteers. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire with kilts and tartan patterns, these soldiers march through the streets of Capetown with precision and unity. Their disciplined formation is a testament to their dedication as they proudly represent their regiment. The scene exudes energy and excitement as onlookers gather along the sidewalks to witness this impressive display. The buildings lining both sides provide a picturesque backdrop for this historic event. One can almost hear the sound of bagpipes filling the air as these brave men showcase their skills and honor their heritage. Published in The Graphic on November 23rd, 1889, this illustration offers us a glimpse into an era when military parades were not only demonstrations of strength but also celebrations that brought communities together. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise fade away with time. It allows us to appreciate not just the bravery and discipline displayed by these soldiers but also provides insight into cultural diversity within South Africa's rich history.
