EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "By Order of Lord Roberts, Boer Women and Children leaving Krugersdorp Station" offers a poignant glimpse into the heart-wrenching realities of war. Created by Marcella M. Walker in 1900, this illustration was featured in The Graphic magazine on September 29th of that year. The scene depicted is one of evacuation during the Boer War in South Africa. As ordered by Lord Roberts, women and children from the Boer community are seen departing from Krugersdorp Station. Their faces reflect a mixture of fear, uncertainty, and resilience as they bid farewell to their homes and loved ones left behind. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of her engraving technique. Each figure is meticulously rendered with care, capturing both the physical strain carried by these individuals as well as their emotional burden. In this print, we witness not only the tragedy endured by those affected by war but also the strength exhibited amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder of the human cost paid during times of conflict – particularly for innocent civilians caught up in its wake. Preserved within private collections today, this historical artwork allows us to connect with a significant moment in history while honoring those who experienced it firsthand.
