The drawings of Melton Prior reflect a working life spent in the trouble spots of the British empire. As a war artist employed by the Illustrated London News, Prior recorded both memorable moments and everyday events in the lives of colonials, soldiers and their opponents, on almost every continent. This volume covers events in southern Africa during the Jameson Raid, the 1896 rebellion in Matabeleland and the South African War. Included are reproductions of 87 of Prior's on-the-spot sketches, revealing the mood and adventure of Victorian times.
