EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Reinhold Thiele, we are transported back in time to a British Army camp circa 1900. The image showcases the intricate details of military life during the Boer War, specifically at Bloemfontain in the Orange Free State. At first glance, our attention is drawn to a begbie lamp standing tall amidst the rugged landscape. Its warm glow illuminates the surrounding area, providing a sense of comfort and security within an otherwise harsh environment. This lamp served as an essential source of light for soldiers stationed at the camp. Adjacent to it stands a heliograph station, another vital piece of equipment used for communication purposes during that era. With its complex system of mirrors and sunlight reflection, this device allowed messages to be transmitted across long distances with remarkable precision. The composition exudes both strength and resilience through its portrayal of male figures diligently tending to their duties within the camp. Their stoic expressions reflect their unwavering commitment towards serving their country amidst challenging circumstances. Reinhold Thiele's masterful capture not only documents historical events but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability in times of conflict. Through his lens, we gain insight into an era long gone yet forever imprinted on our collective memory. This print from Fine Art Storehouse encapsulates both artistic beauty and historical significance – reminding us that even amidst chaos, there is still room for appreciation of artistry found within everyday objects such as scientific equipment used
