EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "The Defender of Mafeking at Pretoria" transports us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Boer War. The print, created by Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, captures the grand reception of Major-General Baden-Powell in Market Square, Pretoria. In this scene, we witness the heroism and admiration bestowed upon Baden-Powell as he is welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd. Horses prance with elegance while onlookers gather around, eagerly awaiting his arrival. The bustling market square serves as the backdrop for this historic event. "The Defender of Mafeking at Pretoria" not only commemorates Baden-Powell's courageous defense of Mafeking but also symbolizes the resilience and determination exhibited by all those involved in the conflict. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 28th, 1900. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate Forestier's meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made during times of war and how individuals like Major-General Baden-Powell can inspire generations through their bravery. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder that history lives on through art, allowing us to reflect upon past events that have shaped our world today.
