EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to the dramatic events of The Siege of Ladysmith during the Second Boer War. The artist, Samuel Begg, skillfully captures a moment of jubilation and triumph amidst the chaos and hardship of war. The focal point of the image is General White, who stands tall and proud as he congratulates the Natal Volunteer Forces on their gallant exploit - capturing the guns on Lombards Kop. His face radiates happiness and his outstretched arm conveys a sense of admiration for these brave soldiers. Surrounding General White are scenes filled with joyous emotion. Horses prance energetically in celebration while soldiers cheer and raise their hats in elation. The atmosphere is one of gaiety and good mood as everyone revels in this significant victory. The viewer can almost feel the collective relief that permeates through this print. After enduring a grueling siege, Ladysmith's inhabitants finally have reason to be cheerful again. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst times of great adversity, moments like these can bring immense joy and restore hope. Begg's attention to detail brings life to each figure depicted - from General White's beaming expression to every soldier's exuberant gesture. It is an artwork that not only commemorates an important historical event but also encapsulates the resilience and indomitable spirit displayed by those involved in defending Ladysmith during this tumultuous period.
