Unused to Wars Alarms, a Refractory Mount - A Glimpse into the Boer War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by John Charlton in 1900, offers a poignant snapshot of the tumultuous Boer War. Titled "Unused to Wars Alarms, a Refractory Mount" it depicts an extraordinary moment frozen in time. In this scene, we witness the profound impact of war on both man and beast. The engraving showcases a refractory mount - an unruly horse unaccustomed to the chaos and danger that surrounds it. With its ears pinned back and eyes wide with fear, the majestic creature stands defiantly against its rider's desperate attempts to control it. Charlton's meticulous attention to detail transports us back to South Africa during this historic conflict. The artist masterfully captures not only the physicality of these magnificent animals but also their emotional turmoil as they navigate unfamiliar terrain amidst gunfire and uncertainty. The image originally appeared in The Graphic on March 17th, 1900 - providing readers with a visual representation of the challenges faced by soldiers during this brutal war. Today, preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by both humans and animals alike in times of conflict. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, let us reflect on those who have endured wars throughout history - their resilience tested while facing unknown perils alongside
