Robert Gottlieb Collection2023 - Shchukin Gallery Original engraving published by the Illustrated London News on March 29, 1879.This engraving, titled The Zulu War, Retreat of Fugitives from Isanhlwana across the Buffalo Rivertransports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Heysham Overend in 1879, this print captures the chaos and desperation that engulfed South Africa during the Anglo-Zulu War. In this scene, we witness a harrowing retreat as terrified fugitives scramble across the treacherous waters of the Buffalo River. The aftermath of the Battle of Isandlwana is evident; smoke billows in the distance while wounded soldiers and civilians alike seek refuge from their relentless pursuers. William Heysham Overend (1851 ? 1898) was a British marine artist and book illustrator. Beginning as a painter, Overend moved into illustration. His connection with the Illustrated London News began in 1875 when he illustrated the Sir George Nares Arctic expedition. For the next decade at least, he was one of the most prominent illustrators, alongside with Richard Caton Woodville. Overend also illustrated articles in The English Illustrated Magazine, Good Words, The Rambler, The Pall Mall Magazine, The Illustrated Naval and Military Magazine, The Graphic, The Magazine of Art, The Leisure Hour, London Society, St. Nicholas, and The Penny Illustrated Paper. 26.25*20.25/ 16.75*11.5 in
