The image showcases Mr. Steyn receiving two Boer Delegates, Messers Wessels and Fischer, in his grand State Room on board the "Carisbrooke Castle" on August 2nd. The composition exudes an air of importance and significance as these prominent politicians come together to discuss matters of great consequence.

Mr. Steyn's presence commands attention as he graciously welcomes his esteemed guests with open arms. His distinguished demeanor reflects both strength and diplomacy, embodying leadership during this pivotal time in history.
