EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of South Africa's rich history. Taken in Maseru, Basutoland during the 19th century, this engraving by English School showcases a moment frozen in time. The image transports us to an era when the Cape Mounted Rifles Camp was established and Basutos roamed freely across the land. The burnt landscape serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by early settlers in this rugged terrain. The topography is beautifully depicted, showcasing both the harshness and beauty of South Africa's natural environment. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded of the resilience and spirit that defined those who called Basutoland home.
