EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment during the Boer War, showcasing our brave troops blowing up a military railway north of Bloemfontein. The print, created by Alfred Pearse in the 19th or 20th century, offers a glimpse into the intensity and determination of our soldiers as they engage in battle. The scene is filled with action and energy. Uniformed soldiers can be seen strategically placing explosives along the railway tracks while mounted on powerful horses. Their faces show focus and resolve, highlighting their commitment to victory against the Boers. The composition skillfully portrays the chaos and destruction of war. Smoke billows from the exploding railway, creating an atmosphere of tension and urgency. The engraving technique used adds depth to each element within the image, ensuring that every detail is meticulously captured. This historical artwork serves as a testament to our troops' bravery and sacrifice during this tumultuous period in South African history. It reminds us of their unwavering dedication to protecting their country's interests. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this lithograph stands as a reminder of our nation's rich military heritage. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to transport viewers back to a time when courage was tested on foreign soil for freedom's sake.
