EDITORS COMMENTS

The print showcases the late Prince Imperial of France, bravely facing off against tribal warriors in South Africa. In this intense scene, the prince finds himself surrounded and outnumbered by fierce Zulu fighters. With his back against a rocky bay, he stands tall and resolute, displaying unwavering courage in the face of danger. The engraving beautifully conveys the tension and peril of this historical event. Woodville's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate tribal attire of the Zulu warriors to their menacing expressions. The artist masterfully portrays both sides of this conflict: one representing imperial power and privilege, while the other symbolizes indigenous resistance. This print originally appeared as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on July 16th, 1879. It serves as a poignant reminder of the price paid by those who ventured into unknown territories for conquest or exploration. "The Late Prince Imperial, at Bay!" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it also holds historical significance as it immortalizes a key moment in time.
