EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Ruse by which the Boers captured a Pom Pom" takes us back to the tumultuous times of the Boer War in South Africa. The image depicts a pivotal moment during this guerilla war, published in 1901 by Harmsworth Bros Limited. The scene unfolds with intense drama as we witness an ingenious strategy employed by the Boers to capture a British artillery piece known as a "Pom Pom". Clad in their distinctive uniforms, these resourceful fighters have cunningly outmaneuvered their opponents. With precision and stealth, they have managed to deceive and overpower the unsuspecting British troops. Ernest Prater's masterful engraving skillfully captures every detail of this historical event. From the expressions on the soldiers' faces to their meticulously rendered uniforms, each element contributes to an immersive experience that transports us back in time. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we are reminded of both the bravery and ingenuity displayed by those involved in conflicts throughout history. This artwork serves as a testament not only to military prowess but also highlights how strategic thinking can often turn tides even against seemingly insurmountable odds. With its rich historical significance and artistic finesse, this lithograph is truly an invaluable piece that allows us to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating human resilience and determination.
