EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Boer Farm and New Zealand Hill in South Africa, taken in 1900 by Underwood & Underwood. The image showcases the rugged topography of the region, with a prominent hill overlooking a picturesque farm and farmhouse. The significance of this location is revealed through its description as "Boer Farm and New Zealand Hill, S. A". It was on January 14th, 1900 that Boer soldiers launched a desperate night attack to seize control of these heights. However, their efforts were valiantly repelled by soldiers from the first New Zealand contingent stationed at Slingersfontein camp. In recognition of their gallant conduct during this battle, the site was later renamed New Zealand Hill. This photograph serves as a testament to the bravery and tactical prowess displayed by these soldiers in defending their position against overwhelming odds. Part of a collection titled "South African War through the Stereoscope" this stereoscopic photograph offers viewers an immersive glimpse into one of history's most significant conflicts. Published by Underwood and Underwood and produced by Works and Sun Sculpture Studios around 1900, it stands as both a historical document and an artistic representation. Preserved within the National Army Museum in London, this image provides us with insight into not only military operations but also life on farms amidst turbulent times. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art prints like this one for future
