EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Raising the British Flag at Pretoria, Lord Roberts calling for Cheers for the Queen" artist John Charlton transports us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts the triumphant raising of the British flag in Pretoria during the Boer War, as Lord Roberts rallies his troops and calls for cheers in honor of their beloved Queen. The image is filled with energy and patriotism, capturing the essence of a military parade. Lord Roberts stands tall on horseback, his commanding presence inspiring loyalty and devotion from his men. As he raises his arm high, urging them to cheer for their monarch, you can almost hear their resounding voices echoing through time. The British flag flutters proudly against a clear blue sky, symbolizing victory over adversity and asserting colonial power. Horses gallop beneath it with determination and grace, embodying strength and unity within the ranks. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on July 21st, 1900 – a visual testament to an important event that stirred national pride across Britain. Now preserved in private collection but made available by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to witness history unfolding before our eyes. Whether you are fascinated by military history or simply drawn to powerful imagery that captures moments of triumph and celebration, this lithograph serves as a remarkable reminder of bravery and allegiance displayed during times of conflict.
