EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white illustration, titled "You are my Prisoners Yorke said sternly" we are transported back in time to the era of the South African War. The scene depicts a tense moment during a card game, interrupted by the arrival of British soldiers. The characters portrayed in this historical fiction piece come alive through their expressions and body language. The central figure, Yorke, stands tall and authoritative as he addresses his captives with an unwavering gaze. His firm declaration suggests that these individuals have been taken prisoner by him or under his command. Surrounding Yorke are other soldiers, each armed with rifles that serve as a reminder of the conflict raging outside. Notably present is a maid who appears startled by the sudden intrusion. Her presence adds an element of domesticity to an otherwise intense military setting. This juxtaposition highlights how war can disrupt even the most ordinary aspects of life. Created in 1902 by William Rainey after G. A. Henty's book "With Roberts to Pretoria: A Tale of the South African War" this lithograph captures both historical accuracy and artistic skill. Through intricate details and masterful engraving techniques, Rainey brings forth a sense of realism that transports viewers into this pivotal moment from history. This print serves as a powerful reminder not only of past conflicts but also of humanity's ability to endure and adapt amidst adversity.
