EDITORS COMMENTS

In the midst of darkness and uncertainty, British Army officer Robert Baden-Powell stands tall as the defender of Mafeking during the Siege of Mafeking. Created by William Hatherell, this image portrays Baden-Powell's unwavering determination and resilience. The side view perspective showcases a man with a strong profile, his hat adding an air of authority to his presence. As moonlight illuminates the rocky landscape behind him, it symbolizes both the harsh reality and hope that prevailed during this challenging period in South Africa. Dressed in military attire, Baden-Powell embodies bravery and strategic thinking. His hand on chin posture suggests deep contemplation amidst adversity. This portrait not only pays homage to a remarkable individual but also serves as a testament to British valor during times of war. Published in Louis Creswicke's "South Africa and the Transvaal War" this photograph transports us back to an era when conflicts shaped nations and individuals rose above themselves for their cause. It is a reminder that even in darkness, there are those who refuse to sleep while danger looms. As we gaze upon this black-and-white image from over a century ago, we cannot help but be inspired by Baden-Powell's indomitable spirit – forever known as Impeesa or "The Wolf That Never Sleeps.
