Wounded Comrades, A Scene at Pietermaritzburg
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant lithographic print that captures the harrowing reality of war during the Boer War in South Africa. Created by John Charlton in 1900, this artwork depicts a scene of wounded soldiers and their loyal horses seeking refuge and medical aid in Pietermaritzburg. The composition evokes a sense of camaraderie and resilience as injured comrades support each other amidst the chaos of battle. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate engravings that showcase the pain etched on their faces and the exhaustion reflected in their eyes. The presence of horses adds another layer of emotion to this powerful image. These noble creatures, often forgotten heroes, stand faithfully by their wounded masters, embodying loyalty and sacrifice. Charlton's work was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic newspaper on October 27th, 1900. It serves as a visual reminder of the sacrifices made by brave men who fought for their countries during times of conflict. This print from Fine Art Finder's collection not only preserves history but also invites us to reflect upon the human cost of war. It reminds us to honor those who have served and continue to serve with courage and selflessness.
