EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the rugged beauty of Van Reenans Pass, a significant location during the Second Boer War. Taken by David Henry Kisch, a renowned photographer of his time, this image is part of a private collection and was featured in "The Siege of Ladysmith in 120 Pictures from Photographs" book published by George Newnes in 1900. Van Reenans Pass played a crucial role in the long-drawn engagement between November 1899 and February 1900 at Ladysmith, Natal, South Africa. The pass served as a strategic route for both sides involved in the conflict. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the challenging terrain that soldiers had to navigate through during this war. The monochromatic aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this historic image. It transports us back to early twentieth-century South Africa, where tensions ran high amidst the backdrop of war. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the harshness of these circumstances. As we admire this piece captured by Kisch's lens, we are reminded of the resilience displayed by those who fought on both sides during this tumultuous period in history. This photo serves as an important visual record that allows us to reflect upon past events and appreciate their significance within our collective memory.
