Boer General Louis Botha finds solace in a hearty breakfast amidst the vast expanse of the South African veldt. This lithographic print, created by Ernest Prater and featured in The Sphere on March 9,1901, captures a moment of respite for the renowned military commander during the tumultuous Boer War.

His presence exudes authority and determination, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to leading his troops to victory against British forces.
