War Impressions: Being a Record in Colour

War Impressions: Being a Record in Colour is a personal account of the Second Boer War by Australian artist Mortimer Menpes, published in 1900. As a correspondent for the London weekly Black and White magazine, Menpes provided 99 watercolours alongside anecdotes about military commanders and notable figures like Cecil Rhodes and Arthur Conan Doyle. This work is significant for being the first in A. & C. Black's series of colour books, utilizing the Henschel colourtype process for high-quality reproductions. The text was transcribed by his 14-year-old daughter, Dorothy, who later collaborated with him on additional titles.
