EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Boers looting a store in the Grange River property" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Boer War. The illustration is from Charles Mills Sheldon's book, "After Pretoria: The Guerilla War" published in 1902. In this scene, we witness the chaos and desperation that often accompanies armed conflict. A group of Boer soldiers can be seen ransacking a store located on the Grange River property. Dressed in their distinctive military costumes and armed with weapons, they appear determined to seize whatever resources they can find amidst the turmoil of war. The image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by both sides during this brutal conflict between Britain and colonial South Africa. It serves as a reminder of how warfare not only involves battles but also includes acts such as looting and robbery. Through this engraving, artist C. M. Sheldon captures an important aspect of history - one that showcases the impact of war on civilian life and highlights the lengths people are willing to go to survive or gain an advantage over their adversaries. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it prompts us to consider not only the human cost of war but also its far-reaching consequences for societies caught up in its grip.
