EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Transvaal War, Scenes in Natal" takes us back to a significant chapter in South Africa's history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, it offers a glimpse into the Second Boer War through intricate details and masterful engraving.

The artist skillfully captures the essence of wartime life with soldiers from the Pietermaritzburg Home Guard Ambulance Corps attending to wounded comrades. Their dedication and bravery are evident as they navigate through chaos and uncertainty. In another corner of the print, we witness members of the Pietermaritzburg Rifle Association mustering for duty on horseback.
