Jameson's Last Stand - the Battle of Doornkop, 2nd January 1896
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Battle of Doornkop on January 2nd, 1896. The image is from Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" published in 1900. In this dramatic scene, we witness the intense conflict between British colonial forces led by Leander Starr Jameson and South African soldiers. The horses gallop fiercely amidst billowing smoke as cannon fire echoes through the air. It is a chilling reminder of the brutal realities faced by those involved in war during the late 19th century. Richard Caton Woodville II skillfully captures this pivotal event with his detailed illustration. Every stroke conveys a sense of chaos, bravery, and sacrifice that defined this historic battle. The defeat suffered by Jameson's forces becomes evident as they face overwhelming opposition from their adversaries. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and the devastating consequences of armed conflicts. As we reflect upon this photograph print, it transports us to an era marked by colonialism and military struggles for power. It stands as a testament to our shared history while also serving as a somber reminder of lives lost during times of war.
