A Royal Recognition of Service, Presentation of South African War Medals by the King on 12 June at the Horse Guards Parade
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that captures a significant moment in history. The image showcases the grandeur and solemnity of a ceremony held on 12 June, where King Edward VII personally presented South African War Medals to deserving recipients. The scene unfolds at the iconic Horse Guards Parade in London, with military personnel and royalty gathered to witness this prestigious event. Amongst those present are General Sir Dighton Probyn, Duke of Portland, Lord Roberts, Princess Victoria, Queen Alexandra, Major General Sir Henry Trotter, Duke of Cambridge and many other notable figures from England's elite. The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable; every figure is meticulously portrayed with their distinctive uniforms and regalia. The composition exudes an air of dignity and reverence as the recipients receive their well-deserved recognition for their service during the South African War. This historical artwork not only commemorates an important event but also provides us with a glimpse into late 19th-century England. It serves as a testament to the valor and sacrifice made by these brave individuals who fought for their country. Begg's skillful execution brings life to this engraving from "The Illustrated London News" originally published on 22 June 1901. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting upon the significance it holds within British history.
