EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the crisis that engulfed the Transvaal region of South Africa. The lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist, captures various Boer military types during this tumultuous period. The image showcases a diverse array of characters and scenes that paint a vivid picture of life amidst conflict.
