EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the Transvaal War, specifically the advance to Pretoria. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases various incidents that occurred during this historical conflict. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 11,1900. In the foreground, we see a group of military officers gathered around a flagpole while Lord Kitchener oversees their activities. Behind them, soldiers are engaged in different tasks such as shoeing horses and hoisting equipment. The scene depicts the daily life and work of British forces as they navigate through South Africa. Notably, there is also an intriguing meeting taking place between old friends Mr. Prior and Mr. Bennett Burleigh from the Daily Telegraph newspaper. This encounter adds a personal touch to the otherwise intense atmosphere surrounding war. The artist's skillful composition allows us to witness both human and animal elements within this historic event. Horses play a crucial role in transportation and warfare during this period, making them essential companions for soldiers on their journey towards Pretoria. Overall, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into one of history's most significant conflicts – the Second Boer War – showcasing its incidents with great detail and artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection.
