The elaborate pen-and-ink artwork features Britannia, armed British soldiers and finely executed ornamental calligraphy, producing a striking contemporary piece of soldiers’ mail and wartime folk art. Woodman was Mentioned in Despatches by Lord Kitchener for meritorious service during the guerrilla phase of operations in the Transvaal. Serving with the Army Pay Corps, he formed part of the essential logistical organisation supporting British forces in the field. A highly unusual and visually compelling Boer War postal-history artefact combining military provenance, original artwork and contemporary patriotic imagery. Some damage from opening, fine.
