EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Tommys Dinner, An Unlooked-for Stroke of Luck during the Pursuit of De Wet" by Frank Dadd depicts a remarkable moment amidst the chaos of war. Set against the backdrop of South Africa during the Boer War, this engraving captures a scene that is both unexpected and heartwarming. In this artwork, we witness British soldiers on a pursuit, their rifles at hand, as they stumble upon an unforeseen stroke of luck - a bountiful feast in the form of duck hunting. The soldiers' faces light up with joy and relief as they realize that fate has granted them respite from battle for just a brief moment. Their weary expressions are replaced with smiles as they eagerly prepare to enjoy "Tommys Dinner". Dadd's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every soldier's uniform is meticulously rendered, while each bird in flight appears so vividly real that one can almost hear their wings flapping overhead. This lithograph not only showcases Dadd's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to his ability to capture human emotion even within the context of war. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how moments like these can provide solace and hope amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, unexpected strokes of luck can bring about much-needed respite and unity among comrades-in-arms.
