EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Swallow, A Tale of the Great Trek" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by William Hatherell in 1898, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on October 15th of the same year. The artwork showcases a scene from H. Rider Haggard's novel, "Swallow" which delves into the epic journey known as the Great Trek. The image captures our attention with its intricate details and sharp lines. In the foreground, we see a group of individuals embarking on this arduous expedition, their determined expressions etched onto their faces. One figure stands out - Suzanne - her flowing hair and piercing gaze symbolizing strength and resilience amidst adversity. As our eyes wander through the print, we notice an engraving that reads "Sihamba" meaning "we are walking" in Zulu language. This inscription serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by those who embarked on this historical migration across South Africa during the mid-19th century. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to each character's features while emphasizing their determination to overcome challenges along their path. With every stroke of his brush or pen, Hatherell brings to life an important chapter in human history - one filled with courage, sacrifice, and unwavering hope. This particular lithograph print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to Bridgeman Images'
