EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in South African history - President Kruger's Home at Pretoria, taken in 1901. The image showcases the grandeur of the residence, set against a backdrop of lush trees. During the Boer War (1899-1902), Lord Roberts' forces successfully captured Pretoria on June 5th, 1900. However, despite losing their capital city, the Boers refused to surrender. This photograph serves as a reminder of this tumultuous time. The stereoscopic format adds depth and dimension to the image, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the scene. It transports us back to an era when photography was still in its early stages but already capable of capturing significant moments.

Its inclusion in this series highlights its historical significance. Preserving such images is crucial for understanding our past and learning from it.
