Check out the work of Chris Collingwood - The Heroic Little Garrison is centerpiece of my study

this Bud Bradshaw print is spectacular ( obviously I am biased given it is the 17th Lancers)

Also check out some of the art that Simon Smith has produced on the AZW it is pretty good as well

In which case I will mention the signed limted edition prints of David Cartwright's Incident at Isandlwana (one of which sits in my office at work).

It is what is used on the cover of Crossing the Buffalo.

these appear on ebay fairly regularly - priced from £4.99 to £60 depending on the frame if any. I brought mine relatively cheaply had it reframed and it looks spectactular

Yeah I remember that one Sergio. Actually the one I really like is the one posted by 90th entitled The Aftermath. Its so unusual and the attitude of the young private, scratching his head in bewilderment is classic.

Cheers

Hi Sergio
The majority of my artwork has come from the sites you listed , and I also have no financial connection to them

. I think I posted them a couple of years ago on here , just looking through them I forgot to photograph some of the postcard sized Art depicting the AZW which I have in other Albums ! Shocked

. I really think Jason Askew's work is first class , I think his are sold through a company named Yassy Art from memory scratch

.
Cheers 90th

Hi Sergio
Agreed the David Cartwright work is wonderful , I'll be keeping an eye out . I just need to check I dont have it hidden away ! LOL.

Hi John
Thank you for that Im about to delve into the underworld of google to try and locate it. I find it so different to any of the standard views, not to take anything away from some really talented artists, and really shows the anti climatic 'aftermath' plus of course the architecture is so close to reality.

Thanks again.

Niice! not a regt readily associated with, did
you do the colourisation.(cant believe i used
that last word ).

Very good with the muted colouring. the
comparison pic interesting, i posted the
above because the thought struck me
that there might be a few who had not
seen them.

You can see in the comparison pic that they later built a second floor of cells, to cope with the jack tars returning to their ships four sheets to the wind!

Nice image John. Is there a date on the photo?

Subject: Re: The Anglo Zulu War in Colour. Tue Aug 19, 2014 7:17 am

Ulundi,

The postcard is postally-unused so there's no date franking on it.

Sallo Epstein operated in Durban from about 1895 through to about 1905, according to what I can find on the web.

Mon ami,

I have one book of David CLAMMER, "La guerre des Zoulous" (1973 or 1974?), in French not in English!!!
The only book on the AWZ in French.
I am sure that this picture is not in my copy. You need to study mo

I am going to bed. Goodnight mate.

Frédéric

Guest

Sorry Frederic, i missed that last comment, " the only book in French "
well my friend i will have to track that down.. i have a lot of books on
the Prince Imperial, Napoleon the Third and The Empress Eugenie..i
find their story fascinating and tragic..it all came to naught..

Here is Coghill and Melvill cutting their way through...from clammer.
the best of the book are the illustrations, so big and clear in the main.
hope your day is good mate Les

Les,
...As the tragic story of the tsar Nicolas II and his family, "the end of the world" for the Russia aristocraty!!!
Many thanks for this nice picture of COGHILL (with the flag around the belly) and MELVILL.
Bad day (and night) for me...i have no time for study seriously "who was in command of the camp"!
I think the situation is strange between PULLEINE and DURNFORD after his arrival at the camp but before his departure....I am missing something but sorry i am Off Topic

Amitiés.

Hey Frederic,bad day and night, sorry to hear that my mate.
yes the painter was a countryman of yours, great image,
The Tsar was ultimately sold down the river by his first
cousin George the fifth, we had destroyers waiting to pick
them up and bring the whole family to England, they were
shamelessly and ruthlessly abandoned..

Commander of the camp was Pulleine.. Durnford told him
straight away he was not staying and would not interfere.
Pulleine would have understood his own position and also
Durnford's...there is a lot of talk on this forum..people can
not always agree on the basic's, make up your own mind
Frederic, stay well.

Mate,
I know this sad story between the Tsar and George V...
For the second point, i have no problem with the understanding of the orders:
My problem is: the behaviour of PULLEINE and DURNFORD (the one of the other) is not logic with their respective order... as i have said "i have missing something".
Bye.
