The Fire at Groot Schuur, Mr Cecil Rhodes's House
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that captures the dramatic event that unfolded on January 6,1897. This historic image showcases the devastating fire that engulfed the iconic residence of Mr Cecil Rhodes in Groot Schuur, South Africa. The lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, provides a glimpse into this significant moment in history. The flames fiercely lick at the grand structure as smoke billows into the sky, creating an atmosphere of chaos and destruction. This print was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on January 9th, 1897. It serves as a testament to both the power of fire and its ability to consume even the most opulent dwellings. Despite this tragedy befalling one of South Africa's most influential figures, it also symbolizes resilience and strength in overcoming adversity. With its intricate details and skilled engraving techniques, this lithograph transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand the intensity of this historical event. Preserved within a private collection today but available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, "The Fire at Groot Schuur" continues to captivate audiences with its powerful depiction of loss and rebirth.
