EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "A Fruitless Errand, A Conference with General De Wet, The London Scottish welcome to their Comrades in the CIV on Hallowe'en" by Henry Marriott Paget depicts a significant moment during the Boer War. This historical artwork, published in The Graphic on November 10th, 1900, showcases the camaraderie and military diplomacy that unfolded amidst the turmoil of war. In this scene, we witness a gathering of esteemed individuals from various factions involved in the conflict. District Commissioner Lieutenant Beddy is seen engaged in conversation with Commandant Du Priez and Captain De Bertodano while surrounded by portraits of other notable figures such as Commandant Prinsloo and Commandant Nel. At the center of attention stands General De Wet himself – a prominent Boer leader. The London Scottish regiment warmly welcomes their comrades from City Imperial Volunteer (CIV) as they dine together on Halloween night in Kroonstad. However, despite their efforts to negotiate peace or reach an agreement ("A Fruitless Errand"), tensions remain high as each side remains committed to its cause. Paget's masterful engraving captures not only the intricate details of uniforms and facial expressions but also conveys a sense of unity among soldiers who find solace even amid adversity. This print serves as both a testament to human resilience and an artistic tribute to those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period in history. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter within
