EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "On the Track of the Matabele" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1893, this print captures the intensity and bravery of soldiers during the first Matabele War. The scene is set amidst the vast plains of Zimbabwe, with a group of military men on horseback diligently tracking their elusive enemy. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the determined expressions on their faces to the powerful presence of their horses. Woodville's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to this engraving. The golden rays of sunlight pierce through clouds, casting an ethereal glow over both man and beast as they navigate through rugged terrain. It is evident that these soldiers are undeterred by any obstacle that lies ahead. This artwork not only showcases Woodville's artistic prowess but also serves as a visual testament to historical events. Through his masterful strokes, he immortalizes those who fought bravely during this conflict, shedding light on a lesser-known chapter in world history. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the courage and determination displayed by these soldiers on their quest for victory against all odds.
