EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Leisure Hours with General Gatacres Force, a Boxing Match at Sterkstroom" takes us back to the early 20th century during the Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases a moment of respite amidst the chaos of war as soldiers engage in an exhilarating boxing match. The artist, Henry Marriott Paget, skillfully captures the intensity and camaraderie of this leisure activity. The soldiers' faces are etched with determination and focus, their bodies poised for action. In the background, tents and military equipment serve as a reminder that this is just a temporary escape from their duties. The scene itself is set in Sterkstroom, adding an air of authenticity to this historical snapshot. It offers viewers a glimpse into how soldiers found solace and entertainment during challenging times. Boxing matches were not only physical contests but also served as outlets for stress relief and bonding among comrades. Published in The Graphic on February 17th, 1900, this engraving provides valuable insight into both the social dynamics within General Gatacres Force and the broader context of war during that era. Preserved by Bridgeman Images in their private collection today, this print serves as a testament to human resilience even amidst adversity. It reminds us that even warriors need moments of leisure to rejuvenate their spirits before returning to battlefields once more.
