EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ordeal by Fire" takes us back to the intense and harrowing times of the Boer War. The lithograph, created by Richard Caton Woodville II, depicts a scene from H. W. Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" published in 1900. In this powerful image, we witness the aftermath of a battle in South Africa. A group of grenadiers stands amidst a dry grassland that has been set alight during the confrontation. Wounded soldiers lie scattered across the scorched earth, their injuries evident as they await medical attention. General Rundle can be seen overseeing the situation with determination and concern etched on his face. The atmosphere is tense as injured soldiers endure their ordeal by fire, highlighting both physical and mental challenges faced during war. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element - from the injured men to the raging flames - is intricately captured through Woodville's skilled engraving technique. This print serves as a poignant reminder of not only the horrors of war but also showcases humanity's resilience and dedication to preserving life even in dire circumstances. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this historical moment remains preserved for generations to come, allowing viewers to reflect upon an important chapter in our collective history while appreciating Woodville's artistic prowess.
