EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Colonel Plumer's Attempt to Relieve Mafeking" transports us back to the tumultuous days of the Boer War in South Africa. Created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, this print captures a pivotal moment in history. The scene unfolds with intense energy as mounted soldiers clash amidst the chaos of battle. Colonel Plumer leads his forces forward, determined to relieve the besieged town of Mafeking. The air is thick with tension and anticipation as both sides collide with fierce determination. Intriguingly, this illustration originates from H. W Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" (Harmsworth, 1900), providing a visual representation of an important event during that time. As we gaze at this engraving, we can almost feel the urgency and desperation felt by those involved. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Wounded soldiers lie scattered across the battlefield, their injuries evident and their pain palpable. It highlights not only physical wounds but also underscores the importance of medicine and healthcare during times of conflict. Through this lithograph, we are transported into history - witnessing bravery, sacrifice, and resilience firsthand. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit displayed by individuals like Colonel Plumer who fought valiantly for what they believed in. As we reflect on this powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us remember those
