EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Zulu War, with the Twenty-First, Royal Scots Fusiliers" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Ralston in 1879 and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the realities faced by soldiers during the Zulu War. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the military camp of the Twenty-First Royal Scots Fusiliers in South Africa. The artist skillfully captures various aspects of army life during wartime. On one side stands an armed soldier on guard duty, ever vigilant against potential threats from their Zulu adversaries. Meanwhile, another soldier assumes the role of camp butcher as he prepares provisions for his comrades. A particularly intriguing element is showcased at the center of this composition - bread. Loaves upon loaves are stacked high along a path leading towards the troops' encampment. This depiction emphasizes not only the importance of food supply but also highlights how even something as simple as white bread can be cherished amidst war's hardships. "The Zulu War" engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that transports us back to a time when brave men fought valiantly on foreign soil. It reminds us of their sacrifices and sheds light on lesser-known aspects such as daily sustenance within military camps. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to an extraordinary piece that educates and captivates viewers alike through its intricate details and rich storytelling abilities
