EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph titled "Trekking Home, the Last of the Commando" artist Marcella M. Walker takes us back to a significant moment in history during the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of weary soldiers making their way home after serving in the Second Boer War. The composition beautifully captures the essence of their long and arduous journey, as they traverse through rugged terrain on horseback. The horses appear tired yet resilient, mirroring the determination etched on each soldier's face. Their uniforms bear witness to their military background, while also symbolizing unity and camaraderie. Walker's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to this poignant scene from an era gone by. The engraving technique adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its historical significance. This powerful illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on July 7th, 1900. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought for their country with unwavering courage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from our private collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a physical journey but also an emotional one. "Trekking Home, the Last of the Commando" stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a tribute to those who have served in times of war throughout history.
