EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "On the March in Rhodesia, an Accident at a Nasty Crossing" transports viewers back to the rugged terrains of 19th-century Rhodesia. Created by John Charlton in 1896, this powerful illustration captures a moment of chaos and camaraderie amidst the military expedition. In this scene, members of the 7th Hussars find themselves facing an unexpected challenge as they traverse through a treacherous swamp. The troopers' horses struggle to maintain their footing on the slippery ground, resulting in an accident that threatens to disrupt their march. However, true to their unwavering spirit and dedication, fellow soldiers rush forward to lend a helping hand. Charlton's masterful engraving skillfully conveys both the danger and resilience exhibited by these brave men. Through intricate details and expert shading techniques, he brings life to every element - from the murky waters engulfing hooves and wheels to the determination etched on each soldier's face. This artwork not only serves as a historical record but also encapsulates themes of unity and perseverance in adversity. It reminds us that even during challenging times or unforeseen accidents along our journey, support from those around us can make all the difference. As we gaze upon this litho print today, we are transported into an era long gone but forever immortalized through art. It stands as a testament to human strength and solidarity while offering glimpses into Rhodesia's rich military history.
