Print. Condizione: Very Good+. First Edition. The Illustrated London News; No. 2105; Vol. LXXV; Folio; 1 pages; Image measures 14.5 X 9 inches; matted measures 22 X 14 inches.

The British then returned to Zululand with a far larger and better armed force, finally capturing the Zulu capital at the Battle of Ulundi, in which the British, having learned their lesson from their defeat at Isandlwana, set up a hollow square on the open plain, armed with cannons and Gatling guns. The battle lasted approximately 45 minutes before the British ordered their cavalry to charge the Zulus, which routed them. After Ulundi was taken and burnt on 4 July, Cetshwayo was deposed and exiled, first to Cape Town, and then to London. He returned to Zululand in 1883. He was later allowed to return to Zululand, where he died in 1884. Additional shipping charge may apply.…
