THE LEAGUER OF LADYSMITH
Book Description
The sketches in this book reveal the artistic skills of the illustrator, as well as a wicked sense of humour, particularly as he apologises for any likenesses and situations by readers. Capt. Dixon was A.D.C. to Gen. Sir George White. Captions are added to each sketch & brief explanations of the context of each illustration.
THIS ITEM IS PART OF A SIGNIFICANT COLLECTION ON THE BOER WAR.
