Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a detailed visual representation of the battle that occurred during the First Matabele War. The scene depicted showcases a strategic plan meticulously laid out on paper, highlighting key locations and movements during the Battle of Shangani. This historical event took place in what is now modern-day Zimbabwe and was fought between British forces led by Major Allan Wilson and Ndebele warriors under Chief Lobengula's command. As we observe this artwork, our imagination transports us to that fateful day when these two opposing forces clashed.
