EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Brave and the Fair" we are transported back to a time of camaraderie and entertainment amidst the hardships of war. The scene takes place in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, during an unknown military campaign. Troopers can be seen gathered around a makeshift lunch table in their camp, surrounded by friends who have come to enjoy their company. The artist, Frederic de Haenen, skillfully captures the spirit of these brave soldiers as they take a momentary respite from their duties to share laughter and stories with their comrades. Their uniforms bear witness to the harsh conditions they face daily, yet there is an undeniable sense of unity and resilience among them. As we observe this intimate gathering, it becomes evident that these troopers not only find solace in each other's presence but also draw strength from the fair companionship surrounding them. The women present exude grace and elegance despite being far away from home. "The Brave and the Fair" serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, humanity finds ways to connect through shared experiences. It is through moments like these that bonds are formed and spirits uplifted amidst adversity. This lithograph was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on November 18th, 1899 – capturing a snapshot of history forever preserved within its intricate engravings.
