War in Africa
European involvement in Africa led to a number of wars. British military campaigns and their leaders were celebrated in items like these collectable stevengraphs, pictures woven from silk.
During the Second Boer War (1899-1902), Robert Baden-Powell defended the town of Mafeking (Mahikeng) in South Africa for the British during a 217-day battle. He went on to found the worldwide Scout movement.
