Description
-
This piece is an advertisement that has a white border. The image is in color and begins with a light blue sky. On the far top corner are indigenous people in war attire on a grassy area. Further front, in front of rocks is a White soldier fully clothed in a blue coat, tan pants, and brown boots, and with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. He stands above a fellow injured comrade in a red coat, blue pants, and gray boots. In front of them are brown indigenous men who are nude with only a small cloth around their waist. They appear to be of African descent and carry shields and spears. One is on the ground injured. On the top right section reads the word “COURAGE.” On the bottom left hand side in black reads “BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. Ltd. Successor to/ Wm CAMERON & BRO./ PETERBURG, VA..” On the white border at the bottom reads “DYING TO SAVE THE QUEENS COLOURS AN EPISODE IN THE BATTLE OF INSANDLWHANA THE DEATH OF LIEUTENANTS MELVILLE AND COGHILL 24th REGIMENT.”
