 * 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.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Battle of Majuba Hill, George Pomeroy Colley, Melton Prior
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/History/War
 * Creator:Melton Prior

 * Support. Nice restoration, good EV. Kaldari (talk) 20:46, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 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  (talk)  21:45, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 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. Greg L (talk) 23:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Mild oppose Good EV, but I don't find the image eye-catching. I probably wouldn't read the article with this image. Gut Monk (talk) 23:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 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).
