EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Kaffir War at the Cape, View of East London Roadstead from West Bank, Buffalo River, where the Troops landed for the Front" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into South Africa's past. The scene depicts a coastal view of East London Roadstead from the west bank of Buffalo River. The shoreline stretches out before us, with troops disembarking from their ships onto land. This was a crucial landing point during the Kaffir War at the Cape. As we observe this historical illustration closely, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that very moment in time. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life and depth to each element within the image. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic merit but also as a record of an important event. It originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on November 10th, 1877 – providing readers with visual insight into one aspect of this conflict. Now preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this engraving allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its historical value. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites contemplation on how far we have come since those tumultuous times along South Africa's coastline during the Kaffir War at the Cape.
