EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Major Marter, c1880" takes us back to a significant episode of the Anglo-Zulu Wars that occurred between 1879 and 1896. The image showcases Major Marter, a distinguished British army officer who played a crucial role in this historic conflict. In this portrait, Major Marter's face is captured with remarkable detail, revealing his strong and determined expression. He wears the traditional military attire of the time, complete with an elegant hat adorned with insignias denoting his rank. His neatly groomed moustache adds an air of authority to his appearance. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the gravity of the moment depicted in this print. Major Marter gazes away from the viewer, perhaps contemplating the challenges he faced during these tumultuous times. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's imperialistic ambitions and its involvement in conflicts far from home. The print itself originates from James Grant's renowned book "British Battles on Land and Sea". Published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in London, Paris & Melbourne around 1880, it stands as both a historical document and a work of art capturing an important period in South African history. As we observe Major Marter through this striking engraving by James Grant himself, we are transported back to the nineteenth century where bravery met adversity on distant battlefields - forever etching their mark on our collective memory.
