Public fascination with the battle has continued through books films and video games. The artists Lady Elizabeth Butler and Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville both contributed to this by quickly producing highly popular paintings of the battle.
Butlers Defence of Rorkes Drift 1880 was shown at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1881 attracting a great crush of onlookers.
