EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Snowstorm in Cape Colony, a Camp of the Cape Mounted Rifles on a Spur of the Drakensberg" transports us to a moment frozen in time. Created by William T. Maud in 1902, this print captures the harsh reality faced by soldiers and their horses during a snowstorm in South Africa's Cape Colony. In this scene, we see members of the Cape Mounted Rifles huddled together for warmth as they endure nature's fury. The swirling snowflakes obscure our view but do not diminish the determination etched on their faces. Their camp is nestled on a rugged spur of the majestic Drakensberg mountains, providing both shelter and an imposing backdrop. The artist masterfully depicts these brave men and their trusty steeds battling against the elements. Horses stand stoically amidst blankets of white, their breath visible in the frigid air. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amid war and conflict, nature can be equally unforgiving. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic magazine on September 20th, 1902 - offering readers an insight into life at this remote outpost during challenging times. Today it stands as a testament to human resilience and camaraderie amidst adversity. Through Maud's skilled hand and attention to detail, we are transported back over a century ago to witness firsthand the struggles faced by those stationed at this snowy campsite. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document - preserving
