Fighting is Hungry Work
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of a tumultuous era in history, as depicted by George Soper's lithograph. This print, dating back to the 19th century, showcases a skirmish during the Boer War in South Africa. The image portrays soldiers from the Leicesters regiment engaged in battle against their adversaries. The intensity of conflict is palpable as both sides confront each other with determination and courage. Amidst this clash, Soper skillfully highlights another aspect often overlooked – hunger. As smoke billows from rifles and cannons, soldiers pause momentarily to partake in a simple act of sustenance - lunchtime dining. In this scene, we witness how fighting takes its toll on even the bravest warriors; they require nourishment to replenish their strength for continued combat. The artist masterfully captures this juxtaposition between violence and humanity. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic newspaper on December 30th, 1899. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst war's chaos and destruction, basic needs such as food remain essential for survival. Today, "Fighting is Hungry Work" stands as an evocative historical artifact within private collections worldwide. Its enduring relevance lies not only in its depiction of armed conflict but also in reminding us of our shared human experiences – even amidst turmoil, we all require sustenance to fuel our endeavors.
