EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "An Incident in a South African Campaign, swimming Horses across a River" captures a powerful moment frozen in time. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the bravery and determination of soldiers during a military campaign. The image depicts members of the 13th Hussars crossing the treacherous waters of the River Lee in Cork, South Africa. The horses can be seen gracefully navigating through the rushing currents while their riders hold on tightly to their reins. It is evident that this daring feat required immense skill and trust between man and beast. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into the challenges faced by soldiers during campaigns in South Africa. The swirling waters symbolize both danger and opportunity as these courageous men risked their lives to achieve their mission objectives. Originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on November 11th, 1893, this photograph serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as courage, teamwork, and resilience. Now part of a private collection but available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this remarkable print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of heroism amidst adversity.
