[GRAHAM, Lumley (1828-1890) and Hugh ROBINSON]

Scenes in Kafirland and incidents in the Kafir War of 1851-2-3. London: Messrs. Dickinson Bro’s., [1854].

An uncommon series of plates, giving an equal emphasis to landscape, portraiture and incident in the Kafir War by two Lieutenants in the 43rd Monmouthshire Regiment, who served in South Africa December 1851 to December 1853. The artists' names were established by Mendelssohn who states 'On examination of Hart's Army List for 1853, it appears that the only officers of the 43rd Light Infantry answering to [the initials L.G. and H.R.]... were Lieutenants Lumley Graham and Hugh Robinson'. In this copy an early owner has inscribed on the title in ink '(L.G.) Colonel Sir Lumley Graham Bart'. Abbey, Travel 344; Bobins I, 95; Mendelssohn I, p.801.



Folio (508 x 350mm). 21 tinted lithographic views and portraits on 18 sheets after Graham or Robinson, leaf of descriptive letterpress text dated March 8th, 1854 (light water-staining to plates). Modern brown half morocco over brown cloth. Provenance: Henry Hall Dare (1825-1908, signature on preliminary blank; Hall Dare is listed in Hart’s Army List for 1853 as a Paymaster in the 23rd [Royal Welch Fusiliers] Regt. of Foot).
