EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Occupation of Bloemfontein, Mounting Guard at the Presidency" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by Henry Marriott Paget and now part of a private collection, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the Boer War era. In this scene, we witness soldiers standing tall and proud as they mount guard at the presidency in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The composition exudes an air of authority and determination as these brave men fulfill their duty amidst uncertain times. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the intricate uniforms worn by the soldiers to the grand architecture surrounding them, each element adds depth and realism to this historical snapshot. Published on April 28th, 1900, in The Graphic magazine, this illustration serves as both documentation and tribute to those who fought during the occupation of Bloemfontein. It allows us to reflect upon their sacrifices while also appreciating the artistic skill that brings their story vividly to life. As we gaze upon this litho from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection today, let it serve as a reminder of our shared history and honor those who have served their countries with unwavering dedication.
