EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "The Surrender of Kroonstad, the March past Lord Roberts, the Guards leading" by Samuel Begg depicts a significant moment during the Second Boer War. The image showcases the victorious British forces led by Lord Roberts as they parade through Kroonstad after its surrender. In this scene, the guards take center stage, their resolute and disciplined presence symbolizing strength and authority. Mounted on majestic horses, they lead the procession with unwavering determination. Their uniforms gleam in sharp contrast against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape. Begg's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the expressions on each soldier's face to the intricate embellishments on their uniforms, he captures both individuality and unity within this military ensemble. Published in The Illustrated London News in June 1900, this lithograph serves as a historical record of an important event that marked a turning point in South Africa's struggle for independence. It immortalizes not only Lord Roberts' leadership but also pays tribute to all those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment when triumph mingled with sacrifice on foreign soil. It reminds us of our shared history and encourages reflection on how far we have come since then.
