EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a poignant moment in history as the train carrying the remains of Mr. Rhodes is saluted by the Blockhouse guards on its solemn journey to the Matopos Hills. Captured by Ernest Prater, this lithograph beautifully portrays a significant event that unfolded during a tumultuous time. The image showcases soldiers donning their distinctive pith helmets and British army uniforms, standing tall with unwavering respect for Cecil John Rhodes, who was laid to rest at Worlds View atop Mount Malindidzimu. As part of his legacy in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), this final tribute paid homage to an influential figure whose impact extended far beyond his lifetime. Amidst the backdrop of steam billowing from the train's engine, these soldiers stand united in their salute—a symbol of honor and reverence for their fallen leader. The engraving skillfully captures both the gravity and emotion surrounding this momentous occasion during the Second Boer War. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection serves as a timeless reminder of sacrifice and devotion. It transports us back to an era when loyalty ran deep within military ranks and commemorates an individual who left an indelible mark on South Africa's history. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded of Mr. Rhodes' enduring legacy and how even in death he continues to inspire admiration and respect from those who served under him.
