EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Boer War on 25 December 1901. The image depicts General Dewet and his Boer forces surprising an encampment of British soldiers at Tweefontein, resulting in the tragic loss of 368 British lives, injuries, and prisoners taken by the Boers. The scene is chaotic and intense, with guns, munitions, and provisions being seized by the victorious Boers. The impact of colonialism and warfare is evident in this photograph as it showcases the brutal realities faced by both sides during this tumultuous time in South Africa. The colorized print from Le Petit Journal Paris on 19 January 1902 brings to life the harrowing events that unfolded on that fateful day. As we reflect on this historical moment captured in black and white, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their beliefs and ideals. This photo serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and colonization, urging us to learn from our past mistakes to create a more peaceful future for generations to come.
