EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, depicting the journey from Smaldeel to Kroonstad with Lord Roberts during the Second Boer War. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases the arrival of Lord Roberts and his army at their headquarters. The scene is filled with activity as troops enter Kroonstad, crossing over the Sand River Drift. A sketching artist can be seen capturing this historic event on paper while prisoners of war are being escorted by armed forces. The presence of Lord Roberts himself adds a sense of importance and authority to the scene. The composition is strikingly detailed, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this pivotal moment. From the soldiers on horseback to the vast landscape stretching out behind them, every element tells a story of bravery and determination. This print offers us a glimpse into a crucial chapter in South African history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in conflicts like these and highlights how photography can preserve such moments for future generations to reflect upon. Displayed within private collections, this photograph stands as both art and historical documentation—a testament to human resilience amidst times of turmoil.
