EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Group of Officers at Pitsani Pothlugo, who were sent to tell Jameson to return" transports us back to the late 19th century in South Africa. The image depicts a gathering of distinguished military officers, each exuding an air of authority and purpose. The composition centers around Captain Ellis, Captain Walford, Lieutenant Colonel Plumer, and Lieutenant Marsham as they stand together in their immaculate uniforms. Their medals proudly adorn their chests - the Distinguished Service Order and the Order of St Michael catching the light just right. These brave men were entrusted with a crucial mission: delivering a message to Jameson urging his return. Surrounding them are other notable figures such as Colonel Morgan Crofton and Mr F Newton from the British South Africa Company. Together with members of the Bechuanaland Border Police, they form an impressive ensemble representing power and determination. The scene is set against the backdrop of Pitsani Pothlugo's rugged landscape – its vastness mirroring the challenges faced by these officers during this historic period known as the Jameson Raid. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on February 25th, 1896 – capturing a moment that would forever be etched into history. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of bravery in times of uncertainty; it pays homage to those who risked everything for what they believed was right.
