EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "On the Heels of the Boers, Mounted Infantry attacking a Wagon Train" by Frederick William Burton takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicts a dramatic clash during the Second Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases the intensity and chaos of battle as mounted infantry soldiers charge towards a wagon train under attack by Boer forces. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, with horses galloping at full speed, dust billowing behind them, and soldiers brandishing their weapons. Burton's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing the bravery and determination of these military men. Their faces reflect both fear and resolve as they engage in combat against formidable opponents. This engraving was originally created for publication in The Illustrated London News on June 30th, 1900. It serves as an important visual record of this tumultuous period in South African history.
