EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Sheltering from the Boer Shells, the Donga of the 5th Lancers" by S. T. Dadd takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene during the Boer War, where soldiers find refuge from enemy fire in a deep ravine known as a donga. The artist skillfully captures the tension and urgency of this wartime situation. We see members of the 5th Lancers seeking shelter within the donga, their faces etched with determination and concern. The boer shells rain down around them, creating chaos and destruction in their wake. The composition is masterful, with dramatic lighting highlighting both the soldiers' vulnerability and resilience. Each brushstroke brings to life not only their physical surroundings but also their emotional state - fear mixed with unwavering loyalty to each other and their cause. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on April 2nd, 1900 - providing readers with a visual glimpse into one aspect of this brutal conflict. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought for what they believed in. Now preserved in private collection, this print continues to evoke powerful emotions even over a century later. It stands as a testament to human endurance amidst adversity and reminds us that history should never be forgotten nor taken lightly.
