This engraving, titled "The War in Kaffraria, Kaffirs attacking Infantry in Keiskamma Gorge" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures the intensity of battle between the Kaffir tribes and British infantry. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Keiskamma Gorge in South Africa, this artwork showcases the bravery and resilience of both sides involved. The intricate details depict a chaotic scene as warriors from the Kaffir tribe fiercely engage with British soldiers. The clash of cultures is evident through their distinct attire and weaponry. Published originally as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 23rd, 1851, this engraving provides a glimpse into a turbulent period known as The War in Kaffraria.
