EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The War in New Zealand, the Alexandra Redoubt at Tuakau, on the Waikato River, constructed by a Detachment of the 65th Regiment" offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the impressive construction of the Alexandra Redoubt. Located on the picturesque Waikato River in New Zealand, this fortified structure was built with great precision and expertise by members of the 65th Regiment. The image captures their dedication to creating a stronghold amidst challenging topography and turbulent waters. Boats and tugboats dotting the river emphasize its importance as a means of transport during times of war. These vessels served as lifelines for supplies and reinforcements to reach strategic locations like Tuakau. The scene exudes an air of tension and anticipation as soldiers stand guard within their newly erected redoubt. Their presence symbolizes both protection for themselves and potential conflict with opposing forces. Published in The Illustrated London News on December 5,1863, this engraving provides valuable insight into historical events that shaped New Zealand's past. Preserved within private collections today, it serves as a reminder of bravery exhibited by those involved in conflicts far from home. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable piece available through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance.
