EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daring escape of two Boer leaders, General Piet Joubert Steyn and General Christiaan de Wet, during the night of July 1900 in South Africa, as they fled the British forces pursuing them during the Second Boer War. The Boers, who sought independence from British rule in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, had been cornered in the rugged terrain of the Highveld. Steyn and De Wet, both renowned military commanders, led their men on horseback through the wet and muddy terrain, risking capture or death. The darkness of the night provided some cover, but the relentless pursuit of the British forces made their escape a perilous journey. The determination and resilience of the Boers were evident as they pressed on, undeterred by the challenging conditions. This photograph, taken from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the historical significance of the Second Boer War and the tenacity of the Boer people. The image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of the conflict and the lengths to which both sides went to secure victory. The escape of Steyn and De Wet was a turning point in the war, as it allowed them to regroup and continue the fight for their cause. The Second Boer War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902, was a pivotal moment in the history of Africa and had far-reaching consequences for the region. This photograph, with its powerful imagery and historical context, serves as a reminder of the events that shaped the continent and the indomitable spirit of those who fought for their beliefs.
