EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The War in the Transvaal (litho)" by Ralph Cleaver takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Second Boer War. The image captures the atmosphere of celebration and news spreading through military headquarters camp after the surrender of General Cronje. In this scene, we witness a grand presentation and reception taking place at Beaufort West. Her Majesty's royal gifts are being showcased, symbolizing gratitude for the brave soldiers who fought on behalf of their country. Among these gifts is an exquisite box labeled "Queen's Chocolate" representing comfort and indulgence amidst the harsh realities of war. The Duke of Edinburgh's Own Volunteer Rifles can be seen proudly displaying their loyalty as they stand beside this magnificent display. In contrast, a local sweet shop or candy store catches our attention in the background, reminding us that even during times of conflict, people still sought solace in simple pleasures like chocolates and sweets. This engraving beautifully captures both the gravity and humanity present during wartime. It serves as a testament to resilience and unity while also acknowledging that life goes on despite adversity. Through this image, we are transported to a pivotal moment in South African history where hope mingled with hardship, creating an indelible mark on society.
