EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the momentous occasion of Lord Roberts' entry into Pretoria on 5th June 1900 during the Boer War. The colour litho, created by Richard Caton Woodville, beautifully depicts the grandeur and triumph of this event. In the foreground, we see Lord Roberts astride his horse, leading a procession of British soldiers through the streets of Pretoria. His commanding presence is accentuated by his pith helmet and regal attire. The soldiers behind him are adorned in their colonial uniforms, representing the power and influence of the British Empire. The scene is filled with energy as crowds gather to witness this historic moment. A covered wagon can be seen in the background, symbolizing both transportation and colonization. This image serves as a testament to British imperialism in South Africa during that time. Lord Roberts' arrival marks an important milestone in British military history as he successfully led his troops to victory over the Boers. It also signifies a turning point in South African history towards eventual British control. Overall, this print not only showcases Woodville's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an era defined by conflict, conquest, and imperial expansion.
