EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of one of history's most remarkable battles - the Defence of Rorkes Drift during the Zulu War on 22nd January 1879. Painted by Lady Elizabeth Butler, this masterpiece was specially commissioned by Queen Victoria to immortalize the extraordinary bravery displayed by soldiers who valiantly defended a field hospital against an overwhelming Zulu attack. In this landscape format, we witness a pivotal moment in that fateful battle. Private Frederick Hitch stands tall on the right, distributing ammunition with unwavering determination amidst chaos and danger. His selfless act of courage would later earn him the prestigious Victoria Cross, symbolizing his exceptional valor. The image transports us back to that harrowing day when outnumbered British soldiers fought for their lives against relentless waves of Zulu warriors. The tension is palpable as each soldier grips their weapon tightly, ready to defend their position at all costs. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's indomitable spirit in times of adversity.
