In this print titled "Derek realised that Zumtewayo was balancing for the throw" we are transported to a moment of intense anticipation and fear. The artwork, a colour lithograph by Stanley L. Wood, captures a scene from an enthralling story called "The Witch Doctors Victim". As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn to Derek, a white boy dressed in colonial attire, who stands frozen with anguish and anxiety. He has just realized that Zumtewayo, a powerful Zulu warrior depicted in his native dress, is preparing for a decisive throw. Wood's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of the composition to life. From Derek's trembling knees to Zumtewayo's muscular arm rising towards his plumed head, each aspect conveys the imminent danger and tension within this encounter.

The onlookers in the background further emphasize this point as they watch with bated breath while wearing expressions of both curiosity and trepidation.
