EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Winning a Victoria Cross at Bloemfontein" takes us back to the early 20th century during the Boer War in South Africa. The image depicts a moment of heroic action as Sergeant Engelheart, a gallant soldier, is awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross for his bravery. The scene unfolds amidst the backdrop of war-torn landscapes and railway tracks. With his horse by his side, Sergeant Engelheart stands tall, representing courage and determination in the face of adversity. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this victorious moment through intricate details and precise engraving techniques. The print is inspired by H. W Wilson's book "With The Flag To Pretoria" published in 1900. It serves as an illustration that brings to life one of many remarkable stories from this significant period in history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when acts of valor were celebrated and honored. This piece not only commemorates Sergeant Engelheart's achievement but also pays tribute to all those who fought bravely during the Boer War. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece from their Private Collection. Through its vivid depiction and attention to detail, it allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating the sacrifices made by individuals like Sergeant Engelheart for their country.
