EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the determined gaze of Edward Frederick Knight (1852-1925), a renowned English journalist, barrister, soldier, and author, best known for his dispatches as a war correspondent for The Times and later, the Morning Post. The photograph was taken during the height of the Second Boer War in 1899. Born in London, Knight's early career saw him study law and serve in the British Army. However, it was his passion for journalism that ultimately defined his legacy. He began reporting for The Times during the Anglo-Egyptian War in 1882 and later covered the Sudan Campaign. In 1899, he joined the Morning Post as their war correspondent, covering the Second Boer War. During Lord Methuen's first engagement at Belmont, Knight was seriously injured, but his commitment to reporting the war did not waver. He continued to file dispatches from the front lines, providing invaluable insights and firsthand accounts of the conflict. Knight's journalistic prowess extended beyond war reporting. He authored over 20 books based on his experiences, including "The Boer War: Its Causes, Incidents, and Consequences" and "The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Conduct." His work was widely read and influential, shaping public opinion and contributing to the historical record of these pivotal events. Despite the risks and hardships, Knight's unwavering dedication to journalism and his commitment to providing accurate and insightful reporting made him a respected figure in the world of journalism. This portrait stands as a testament to his courage, determination, and the enduring power of the written word.
