The Departure of the City of London Imperial Volunteers for South Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in history, immortalized through this lithographic print by Henry Marriott Paget. The image depicts a scene filled with honor and camaraderie as Colonel Mackinnon leads his troops on their journey to South Africa during the Boer War. The soldiers are seen gathered at the Inner Temple, bidding farewell to loved ones and enjoying a farewell supper before embarking on their mission. Glasses are raised high, celebrating Queen's health and Lord Mayor's own, symbolizing unity and patriotism among these brave men. Paget's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. Each face tells a story - determination etched into their expressions, mixed with hints of apprehension for what lies ahead. The composition exudes both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these volunteers from the City of London who left behind comfort and security to fight for justice thousands of miles away. It encapsulates not only their departure but also represents the spirit that prevailed throughout this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time; witnessing an important chapter unfold before our eyes. It stands as a testament to bravery, duty, and unwavering dedication – qualities that continue to inspire generations long after they were first depicted on paper.
