EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Kaffir War, Sketches in Cape Colony, the Transvaal, and on the Zulu Border" takes us back to a significant period in South African history. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1878, this artwork offers a glimpse into the diverse landscapes and daily life during the Kaffir War. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in an early morning market bustling with activity. The artist skillfully captures the essence of a vibrant street scene as people go about their daily routines. A small cottage stands nearby, its humble presence contrasting against the backdrop of sprawling bushland. As our eyes wander further into the image, we notice sketches depicting various scenes from different regions affected by conflict. From Port Elizabeth to Utrecht and beyond, these illustrations provide valuable insight into life during wartime. The inclusion of cattle grazing along Pivan River adds an element of tranquility amidst turbulent times. It serves as a reminder that even amid strife, nature continues its course undeterred. Notably present are references to both Boers and Zulus - two prominent groups involved in this historical conflict. Their respective dwellings or kraals can be seen dotting the landscape; symbols of cultural identity deeply intertwined with this tumultuous era. Overall, this engraving transports us back to a pivotal moment in South Africa's past while showcasing Corbould's talent for capturing intricate details within his work.
