EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Making Good Damage done by the Boers at Laings Nek, In Hospital at Pietermaritzburg, An Artist in Plaster of Paris" depicts a poignant scene from the Boer War. Created by J. J. Waugh in 1910, this artwork showcases the resilience and determination of those affected by war. The image transports us to a hospital setting in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Amidst the chaos and destruction caused by the Boers at Laings Nek, we witness an artist diligently working with plaster of Paris to repair damaged limbs. This skilled individual is using their artistic abilities not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a means of healing and restoring hope. The contrast between the artist's focused expression and the wounded soldiers lying on beds creates a powerful visual narrative. It symbolizes how art can bring solace amidst pain and suffering. The engraving captures both the physical toll of war through its depiction of injuries sustained by soldiers and highlights their unwavering spirit to overcome adversity. This artwork was originally published in The Graphic on September 1st, 1900 - during a time when news illustrations were crucial for conveying stories from distant lands to readers back home. Today, it serves as a historical record that reminds us of humanity's ability to find beauty even in times of turmoil.
