EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant drawing room of the Presidency, which served as Lord Roberts' headquarters during the Boer War in 1900. The image, taken by the Keystone View Company, showcases a moment frozen in time within this historic space located in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The grandeur of the room is immediately apparent with its exquisite chandelier casting a warm glow over the meticulously designed interior. The carefully chosen furniture pieces, including an ornate armchair, create an atmosphere of sophistication and comfort. The monochrome wallpaper adds depth to the scene while also highlighting the intricate details of this stately chamber. Lord Roberts assumed command of British forces engaged in fierce battles against Boer fighters during this tumultuous period. His successful capture of Bloemfontein on March 13th marked a significant turning point in the conflict. This stereoscopic card detail offers viewers a glimpse into both history and design aesthetics from over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how war can intersect with artistry and craftsmanship even amidst challenging times. Preserved through stereoscopic photography techniques, this print allows us to appreciate not only Lord Roberts' military prowess but also his appreciation for beauty within his surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to that pivotal era when power dynamics were shifting on African soil.
