A Lucky Escape for the Cavalry while on the March to Thaba Nchu
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, created by Frederic de Haenen in 1900, captures a pivotal moment during the Boer War. The image showcases a heart-stopping scene as cavalry troops narrowly escape danger while marching towards Thaba Nchu in South Africa. The composition exudes tension and excitement, with horses galloping at full speed and soldiers gripping their weapons tightly. It is evident that this encounter was unexpected and potentially life-threatening. The artist's attention to detail brings every element of this chaotic event to life – from the dust kicked up by hooves to the expressions of determination etched onto each soldier's face. As we delve into history through this lithograph, it becomes clear that luck played a crucial role in ensuring the survival of these brave men. Their fortunate escape serves as a testament to their skillful maneuvering and unwavering courage amidst adversity. Haenen's work originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on June 30th, 1900. This print now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its vivid portrayal of military action during one of South Africa's most challenging conflicts. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served in armed forces throughout history. It stands as both a tribute to their bravery and an invitation for us all to reflect upon our own fortunate escapes in life.
