EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Scenes in and around the British and Boer Capitals of the Orange Free State" offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of South Africa during the Second Boer War. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News in 1900, this print showcases various architectural landmarks and topographical features. The image takes us on a visual journey through two significant cities: Pretoria and Bloemfontein. We are transported to Cross Street in Pretoria, where we witness the hustle and bustle of daily life with its vibrant road filled with people going about their business. The Valsch River Bridge stands proudly as an emblematic structure connecting communities. Moving further south to Bloemfontein, we encounter notable sites such as Volks Hospital and Peoples Hospital, symbolizing both British influence and local resilience amidst conflict. This engraving provides valuable insight into how these capitals were shaped by contrasting cultures during this turbulent period. Forestier's meticulous attention to detail captures not only the physical aspects but also hints at the underlying tensions between Britain and Boer populations. As viewers immerse themselves in this artwork, they can almost feel the echoes of history reverberating through time. Preserved within private collections today, this lithograph serves as a testament to our shared past while reminding us of how far we have come since those tumultuous days. It is a remarkable piece that invites contemplation on themes ranging from colonialism to cultural identity – an invitation worth accepting
