This black and white lithograph captures a significant moment during the second Boer War in South Africa. Published in 1900 by Louis Creswicke, it depicts the first halt of British prisoners on their way to a prison camp in Pretoria. The image showcases a group of male soldiers, mounted on horses, as they pause amidst the breathtaking South African landscape. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and resilience as these prisoners march forward with determination despite their captivity. The towering mountains in the background serve as a reminder of the challenging terrain they must navigate through during this tumultuous time. The illustration is intricately detailed, showcasing each soldier's uniform and horseback position. It transports viewers back to the 19th century, providing an authentic glimpse into this historical event. As we observe this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts throughout history. This print serves as both an educational tool and a poignant tribute to all those who have endured hardships for their countries. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction ensures that this powerful image continues to be appreciated today.
