EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait depicts General Piet Joubert, a prominent South African soldier and politician who served as Commandant-General of the South African Republic from 1880 to 1900. The image, an engraving after a photograph, is taken from Cassell's History of England, Volume IX, published by Cassell and Company in the early 1900s. General Joubert, born Petrus Jacobus Joubert, is shown in the portrait with a full beard, a common fashion among men of the time. He is dressed in military uniform, complete with a hat adorned with a feather, reflecting his status as a commanding officer. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the subject to stand out. Joubert played a significant role in the political and military landscape of South Africa during the late 19th century. He was a key figure in the Second Boer War, which pitted the Dutch-speaking Boer farmers against the British Empire. Joubert's military prowess and political acumen made him a formidable adversary for the British, and his leadership was instrumental in the Boer resistance. Despite his military successes, Joubert's legacy is complex. Some view him as a hero of the Boer people, while others see him as a controversial figure who engaged in brutal tactics during the war. Regardless of one's perspective, there is no denying the historical significance of this enigmatic figure, as captured in this striking portrait.
