EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "How I volunteered for the Zulu War" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an era of adventure and bravery. The image showcases a young Englishman, dressed in his finest attire, standing beside a train station platform. His eyes are filled with determination and excitement as he prepares to embark on a journey that will test his mettle. The print tells the story of this courageous individual who has chosen to leave behind the safety and comfort of home to serve in the military during the Zulu War in South Africa. Unable to afford an officer's position, he has taken up volunteering instead. A captain, depicted alongside him, suggests this path as it fits his race but warns him about bankrupting himself. Despite these challenges, our protagonist remains undeterred. He is willing to attend any place where duty calls and embraces the opportunity wholeheartedly. This image captures not only his enthusiasm but also reflects upon society's fascination with such noble acts during that time. Through this artwork, we witness a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates both anticipation and courage. It serves as a reminder of those who selflessly risked their lives for causes they believed in while inspiring us all to embrace our own sense of adventure and purpose.
