EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Second Boer War. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, but its historical significance cannot be denied. Taken from Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. V" published in Edinburgh in 1901 by T. C. & E. C. Jack, it offers a glimpse into the military strategy employed by British forces during this colonial conflict. The photograph showcases an intricate map depicting the geographical features of South Africa and its surrounding regions such as Lesotho (Basutoland) and Orange River. It serves as a visual aid for understanding the strategic positioning of British troops against their Boer adversaries. This Victorian-era relic not only provides valuable insights into military tactics but also sheds light on Britain's imperialistic ambitions during that time period. As we examine this print closely, we are reminded of the complex web woven by colonial powers across different parts of the world. "The Tentacles at Work, 1901" is more than just a piece of art; it represents an important chapter in history when nations clashed over land and power.
