EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Boer War in 1900, we witness the remarkable courage and determination of Mrs. Davies, a British settler, as she fearlessly fires upon Boer positions from the trenches during the siege of Mafeking in May. This powerful image captures a pivotal moment in history when colonialism clashed with Dutch resistance. With her rifle held firmly and bandolier strapped across her chest, Mrs. Davies epitomizes strength and resilience amidst adversity. Her sharpshooter skills are evident as she takes aim at the enemy, displaying unwavering resolve to defend her homeland. The drawing itself is an extraordinary piece of art that was featured in a contemporary English newspaper at the turn of the century. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of its creator and their commitment to documenting significant events for public consumption. This print transports us back to an era marked by conflict and tension, shedding light on South African history through one woman's brave actions. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of war and highlights women's contributions often overlooked or forgotten. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who fought valiantly for their beliefs while recognizing that it is through understanding our past that we can shape a better future free from such conflicts.
