This item is a modern canvas print reproduction of the 1880 historical battle painting ‘The Defence of Rorke’s Drift’ by Alphonse de Neuville. The composition depicts a pivotal moment during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, featuring British soldiers in red tunics and pith helmets defending a makeshift perimeter of mealie bags and wooden crates. The scene is set against the backdrop of a burning stone building and a mountainous landscape obscured by smoke. Various figures are shown in states of combat, firing rifles, and tending to wounded comrades. One of the wooden crates in the foreground bears the printed inscription COMMISSARIAT NAVY BISCUIT. The artwork is a gallery-wrapped canvas presented on a wooden stretcher without an external frame. A printed signature and date are visible in the lower right corner, appearing as A. de Neuville 1880.
