EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Hard pressed" is a powerful depiction of the guerilla war during the Boer War in South Africa. Created by Allan Stewart in 1901, this print was published by Harmsworth Bros Limited as part of their book "After Pretoria: The Guerilla War". The image showcases the intense conflict between British troops and Boers, highlighting the harsh realities faced by both sides. The composition captures a chaotic scene with soldiers engaged in fierce combat. Uniformed men are seen firing rifles, while others desperately seek cover behind rocks and fallen comrades. Stewart's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. Every line etched into the lithograph conveys tension and desperation. The artist skillfully portrays not only the physical struggle but also the emotional toll on those involved. Through this artwork, we gain insight into one of history's most significant conflicts. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during this brutal war that lasted from 1899 to 1902. This particular print is now housed in a private collection, serving as a testament to its enduring significance as an artistic representation of military history. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Stewart's talent for capturing such impactful moments through his engravings.
