EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of the Illustrated London News, dated 9th August 1879, showcases the iconic image of Archibald Forbes, a renowned Scottish journalist and special correspondent for the Daily News, during his daring ride from Ulundi in the heart of the Zulu War. The image, painted by the skilled hand of Forbes himself, depicts him in the midst of his exhilarating journey, covered in blood and sweat, with his spurs spurring and his face fiery red from haste. The Zulu War, which took place between 1879 and 1880, was a significant conflict between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa. Forbes, who was known for his courage and determination, was sent to report on the war for the Daily News. His vivid descriptions and illustrations brought the raw reality of the battlefield to the readers back home, making him a hero in the world of journalism. The image on the cover of the Illustrated London News captures the essence of Forbes' adventurous spirit and his commitment to reporting the truth. The painting is a testament to the risks that journalists took to bring the news to the masses, even in the most dangerous of circumstances. The image is also a reminder of the pivotal role that journalism played in shaping public opinion during times of war and conflict. The Zulu War was a turning point in the history of Africa and the British Empire, and Forbes' coverage of the war played a significant role in shaping the public's perception of the conflict. This iconic image of Forbes on his ride from Ulundi remains a powerful symbol of journalistic bravery and determination, and a reminder of the important role that journalists continue to play in reporting the news from the frontlines.
