EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Last Train to leave Ladysmith, the Armoured Train which carried General French running the Gauntlet of the Boers" transports us back in time to a crucial moment during the Boer War. Created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, this print captures an intense scene that unfolded on December 9th, 1899. In this illustration for The Graphic magazine, we witness the armored train carrying General French as it bravely navigates its way through enemy territory. The train is depicted rushing forward amidst gunfire and chaos, symbolizing both courage and desperation. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those involved in this historic conflict. Ladysmith's significance lies not only in being one of South Africa's major cities but also as a strategic location during wartime. As British forces fought against Boer troops who had laid siege to Ladysmith for months, this last train became their lifeline - their only means of escape from certain danger. Dadd's attention to detail brings every element of this gripping scene to life – from billowing smoke engulfing the locomotive to soldiers desperately clinging onto its sides. Through his skilled engraving techniques, he manages to convey both motion and emotion simultaneously. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of war. It stands as a poignant reminder that even in moments when hope seems lost; bravery can prevail against
