In Pursuit of De Wet, the Engagement at Baartmans Siding, North of De Aar
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Joseph Nash that depicts a dramatic scene from the Boer War. The print showcases an intense clash between British forces and Boer rebels in South Africa. The artwork captures the chaos and tension of battle as an armoured train crosses a railway line while being pursued by a determined Boer column. The naval gun truck on the train can be seen shelling the enemy, creating explosions amidst billowing smoke. Maxim trucks are also present, adding to the firepower unleashed during this engagement. Nash's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of Colonel Crabbe leading his troops from atop a kopje, strategically positioned to oversee the unfolding conflict. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and realism to this historical moment. This lithograph serves as both a testament to Nash's artistic talent and an important record of military history. It offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of the larger narrative that unfolded during this tumultuous period in South Africa. Through "In Pursuit of De Wet" we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by soldiers on both sides but also how art can capture significant events for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
