EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Zulu War, Investiture of Major Chard, RE, with the Victoria Cross" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Major John Chard of the Royal Engineers being honored with the prestigious Victoria Cross during the Anglo-Zulu War. In this powerful scene, we witness Major Chard standing tall and proud as he receives his well-deserved recognition. Surrounded by fellow soldiers on horseback and adorned in their military regalia, they create an atmosphere of honor and bravery. The horses add a sense of motion and energy to the composition, symbolizing strength and determination. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historic event through intricate details that bring it to life. Each stroke etched into the print tells a story; from Major Chard's resolute expression to his uniform displaying years of service. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on September 6th, 1879. It serves as both a visual record and tribute to those who fought valiantly during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry today, we are reminded not only of Major Chard's individual heroism but also of all those who sacrificed for their country during times of war. This print stands as a testament to courage under fire and serves as an everlasting reminder that valor should never be forgotten.
