EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the testing of an armoured train at Pietermaritzburg during the late 19th century. The image, created by an English School artist, showcases the military prowess and innovation of the time. The scene depicts a powerful locomotive adorned with heavy armor plating, designed to withstand enemy fire. Soldiers can be seen observing and inspecting this remarkable creation, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. The surrounding landscape of Pietermaritzburg provides a dramatic backdrop for this groundbreaking event. This print is not only a testament to technological advancements but also serves as a reminder of the Boer War that ravaged South Africa during this period. It symbolizes the determination and resilience displayed by both sides involved in this conflict. Originally published in The Graphic on November 18th, 1899, this illustration offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by rapid industrialization and military development. Preserved within private collections today, it stands as a historical artifact that allows us to reflect upon past struggles and triumphs. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts in preserving such valuable pieces of art, we are able to appreciate and learn from these visual records that depict pivotal moments in our shared human story.
