EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Zulu War, Sketches at Pietermaritzburg after the Battle of Isandula" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the aftermath of the intense battle that occurred on January 24, during the Zulu War. As we observe this scene, our eyes are drawn to a bustling street in Pietermaritzburg. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and concern as people gather around to examine sketches depicting the events that unfolded just two days prior. The absence of carabineers suggests their involvement in combat or perhaps their unfortunate fate. Intriguingly, individuals can be seen barricading themselves inside a court house while others meticulously prepare for potential attacks by loopholing windows. This image offers a glimpse into how news spread during those times when information was scarce and relied heavily on visual aids. The artist skillfully portrays both chaos and resilience through intricate details such as facial expressions and body language. It's evident that this engraving serves not only as documentation but also as a reminder of bravery amidst adversity. "The Zulu War, Sketches at Pietermaritzburg after the Battle of Isandula" transports us back to South Africa on that fateful day in January 1879 when lives were forever changed. Through this artwork, we gain insight into historical events while appreciating its artistic value and storytelling prowess.
