EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Zulu War, the Field of Isandhlwana revisited" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on July 12,1879, this print offers a haunting glimpse into the aftermath of the Anglo-Zulu War. The image transports us to the field of Isandhlwana on May 21,1879. As we observe from a distance, General Marshall arrives at the scene with his military entourage. The atmosphere is heavy with sorrow and devastation as they survey the field of slaughter before them. Every detail within this engraving tells a story: fallen soldiers scattered across the landscape, remnants of battle strewn about, and an eerie silence that hangs over it all. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost paid during conflicts like these. "The Zulu War" not only captures historical accuracy but also showcases Prior's exceptional talent for evoking emotions through art. His meticulous attention to detail draws viewers into this somber moment in South African history. As we gaze upon this powerful image today—preserved within a private collection—we are reminded of both the horrors and heroism witnessed during times of war. It stands as an enduring testament to those who fought bravely and lost their lives on that fateful day at Isandhlwana.
