Reason
Good quality engraving, on-the-spot reporting (admittedly this one is, based on second-hand accounts: The bottom text reads "From notes supplied by officers present to our Special Artist"), and, in addition, we didn't have anything for the Boer War that I saw.
Support. Nice restoration, good EV.

Support Agree, nice restoration, good EV. By a coincident, I saw this illustration in a book just yesterday, weird to see it turn up here the day after. P. S. Burton (

Support I stopped, stared & clicked. The image was understandable as a thumb and the artwork in the zoom proved to be exceedingly well done. Nice nom.

Mild oppose Good EV, but I don't find the image eye-catching. I probably wouldn't read the article with this image.

Obviously, this is nominated more for EV than art. Though by no means my favourite engraving from this newspaper (that would be
File:Franco-Prussian_War_-_Students_Going_to_Man_the_Barricades_-_Illustrated_London_News_Oct_1_1870.jpg, for the record), as on-the-spot reporting of a notable event in the Boer War, I think it has loads of EV, which makes up for it being fairly average art (For this period, anyway: the Victorian period is noted for very high quality engravings).
