EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A quiet smoke" captures a poignant moment during the Guerilla War in Pretoria. Published by Harmsworth Bros Limited in 1901 as part of their historical series, this print showcases the exceptional talent of Henry Inglis Jodrel Sheldon-Williams. In this scene, we see a soldier taking a brief respite from the chaos of battle to enjoy a solitary smoke. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shadow brings life to this powerful image. The soldier's weary expression tells a thousand stories, reflecting the toll that war has taken on his spirit. The composition exudes an air of tranquility amidst the turmoil of conflict. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war, moments of peace can be found if one knows where to look. This print not only documents an important chapter in history but also evokes empathy for those who fought bravely on both sides. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it transports us back to an era long gone yet still resonates with universal themes: sacrifice, camaraderie, and resilience. It stands as a testament to the power of art in capturing human experiences and preserving them for future generations. This particular print is held within a private collection but continues to inspire viewers with its emotional depth and artistic brilliance.
