Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, also known as Oom Paul, was a prominent South African politician who lived from 1825 to 1904. He played a significant role in the history of South Africa and left an indelible mark on the nation. Kruger's leadership and influence were so profound that he became a symbol of resistance against British imperialism. As president of the Transvaal Republic, he fought tirelessly for the rights and independence of his people. His visit to France in 1896 garnered international attention. The front cover of Le Petit Journal featured Mr. Kruger on the Gelderland, capturing his arrival with great fanfare. This event marked an important moment in diplomatic relations between South Africa and France. President Kruger's warm reception by Parisians further highlighted his stature as a respected world leader. The illustration titled "French Hosts: President Kruger Greets the Parisians" showcased this memorable occasion during which he was embraced by both locals and visitors alike. Even beyond his political career, Kruger's legacy extended into various fields such as literature and drama. Etienne-Jean-Paul Kruger, an accomplished Hungarian dramatist born in 1825 but passed away in 1904, shared not only a name but also a passion for artistic expression. The Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900 saw the Transvaal pavilion stand proudly among other nations' displays. This exhibition served as an opportunity to showcase South Africa's rich culture and resources under President Kruger's leadership. One particularly iconic moment captured through illustration depicted President Kruger arriving at Gare de Lyon during his visit to Paris. This image immortalized his presence on foreign soil while emphasizing his importance on the global stage. Throughout it all, Oom Paul remained dedicated to serving his countrymen until his passing in 1904. His unwavering commitment earned him respect not only within South Africa but also across the world.
