EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vast Transvaal country south of Johannesburg, offering a captivating glimpse into South Africa's history. Taken by Underwood & Underwood around 1881-1940, this image showcases the breathtaking landscape as seen from the Reservoir. The photograph is part of a collection housed at the National Army Museum in London, shedding light on an important period known as the Boer War in 1899. During this conflict, British forces heavily relied on horses for various purposes such as transportation, supply, cavalry, and horse artillery. The image belongs to a series of stereoscopic cards titled "South African War through the Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1" published by Underwood and Underwood. It was produced by Works and Sun Sculpture Studios around 1900. In this particular scene, one can appreciate not only the topography but also witness several horses grazing peacefully in their natural habitat. These magnificent animals played a crucial role during times of war but were also essential for everyday life on farms. Bridgeman Images has made this historical gem available through Fine Art Finder without any mention of commercial use. The photograph serves as a testament to both early photography techniques and an era marked by significant military conflicts intertwined with daily rural existence.
