EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "How Bethunes Mounted Infantry crossed the Tugela" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Frederic de Haenen in 1900, this print captures the bravery and determination of the Bethunes Mounted Infantry during the Boer War. The scene depicts a group of soldiers dressed in military attire, patiently waiting on one side of the Tugela River. Their clothes are worn and weathered, evidence of their arduous journey thus far. Across from them lies the opposite bank, seemingly distant yet within reach. Mid-stream stands a kaffir boat, ready to ferry these courageous men across turbulent waters towards their destination. The engraving skillfully portrays both the trepidation and resolve etched onto each soldier's face as they prepare for what lies ahead. The significance of this moment cannot be understated; it symbolizes not only an essential river crossing but also represents hope amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly during times of war. Preserved within a private collection and now brought to light through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this lithograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, courage can prevail. It invites us to reflect on our own resilience while honoring those who have come before us.
