EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Heroic Deeds in the Matabele War, defending the Mail Coach from a Body of Kafirs on the Salisbury Road" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Frank Dadd and published in The Graphic on February 6,1897, this illustration showcases an intense scene during the Matabele War. In this dramatic image, we witness brave individuals valiantly protecting a mail coach from an approaching group of Kafirs on the Salisbury Road. The tension is palpable as rifles are drawn and horses gallop with urgency. The heroes stand tall against adversity, determined to defend their precious cargo and ensure its safe delivery. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure exudes strength and courage amidst chaos. As our eyes wander across the print, we can almost feel the dust kicked up by hooves and hear shouts echoing through the air. This lithograph not only captures a specific event but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in times of conflict. It reminds us that even in moments of great peril, there are those who rise above fear to protect what they hold dear. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it offers us an opportunity for reflection – a chance to honor those who have fought bravely throughout history while reminding ourselves of our own capacity for heroism when faced with adversity.
