Taken by David Henry Kisch, a renowned photographer of his time, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph depicts the town of Colenso during the Siege of Ladysmith, which lasted from November 1899 to February 1900 in Natal, South Africa. The siege was a prolonged battle that took place between British forces and Boer fighters. It showcases the intense war zone atmosphere with its ruins and destruction.
