EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Victor and the Vanquished, the Meeting of Lord Roberts and General Cronje" captures a significant moment in history. Created by Frederic de Haenen in 1900, this print depicts an illustration for The Graphic newspaper. Intriguingly, it portrays the meeting between two prominent figures during the Boer War: Lord Roberts and General Cronje. As their eyes lock in this powerful image, one can sense both tension and respect emanating from their expressions. Lord Roberts, representing the victor's side, stands tall with his military regalia exuding authority. Meanwhile, General Cronje appears as the vanquished figure; his posture reflects defeat but also hints at resilience. This historic encounter took place amidst a backdrop of conflict in South Africa. The engraving masterfully conveys not only the personal dynamics between these two leaders but also broader themes of power struggle and war. Preserved within a private collection today, this lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of past events that shaped our world. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on historical narratives while appreciating Haenen's artistic skill. Displayed alongside other works from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection at Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print invites us to delve into history through artistry—a visual portal connecting us to pivotal moments like never before.
