EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian Stereoview card from circa 1900 offers a glimpse into the tumultuous South African War, also known as the Boer War or Anglo-Boer War. Lasting from October 11,1899, to May 31,1902, this conflict pitted Great Britain against the two Boer republics - the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. To Afrikaners, it was also referred to as the Second War of Independence. The photograph depicts one of the many challenges faced by British forces during their march on Pretoria. Royal Engineers can be seen diligently constructing a roadway along the steep Veltch river banks. The difficulties encountered in navigating these treacherous terrains highlight both the physical obstacles and strategic complexities that defined this war. Through a stereoscope viewer, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand how technology captured significant historical events like this one. This print by John Short serves as a testament to his skill in preserving moments of history through photography. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us of not only the sacrifices made by those involved but also serves as a reminder of our shared human history and its impact on shaping our present world.
