The scene depicted is Fugitives Drift, Buffalo River, where Lieutenant Melvill's bravery and determination are immortalized. The image showcases the rugged beauty of South Africa's riverside landscape as it was during the 19th century. A large stone stands prominently in the foreground, serving as a symbol of survival and resilience.
