EDITORS COMMENTS
Burning the Farm of a Treacherous Burgher, 2nd Boer War, c1900. A powerful image capturing the intense emotions and devastation caused by colonialism during the late 19th century. In this poignant photograph print, we witness a Boer farmer's wife shaking her fist defiantly at British soldiers as they set fire to their farm. The scene depicts the brutal reality of war and punishment inflicted upon those who were perceived as traitors to the British Empire. The raging flames engulf not only buildings but also symbolize the destruction of livelihoods and dreams. Amidst this chaos, an anguished woman stands tall in her military uniform, representing resilience and defiance against oppression. Her fury is palpable as she confronts the soldiers responsible for displacing her family from their land. The monochrome composition adds depth to this historical moment, emphasizing both its timelessness and significance in shaping South Africa's history. The presence of horses further highlights the connection between humans and animals affected by these conflicts. This print serves as a reminder of the consequences brought about by imperialism and evokes empathy towards those dispossessed during this turbulent period. It encapsulates both sorrowful loss and unwavering determination that resonates even today.
