"Exploring the Rich History of the Orange Free State: From Fort Gordon to Cape Colony" Embark on a captivating journey through time as we delve into the fascinating story of the Orange Free State. This 150-year-old tale begins with "An Orderlys Journey from Fort Gordon, Basutoland, to Kingwilliamstown, Cape Colony, " depicted in a vivid colour lithograph that transports us back to an era long gone. One prominent figure who shaped the destiny of this region was Mr M. T. Steyn, Late President of the Orange Free State in 1900. Though his creator remains unknown, his legacy lives on as we catch a glimpse of him through an intriguing photograph. The Battle of Magersfontein left an indelible mark on history and "All That Was Left of Them" showcases The Black Watch soldiers after this fateful encounter in 1900. Their resilience and sacrifice serve as a reminder of their unwavering commitment during times of war. To better understand this complex landscape, we turn our attention to a meticulously crafted map by John Bartholomew & Son from c1914 (c1920). It provides invaluable insights into South Africa's geography and sets the stage for subsequent events that unfolded during The Anglo-Boer War. Intrigue ensues as we witness "The Disastrous Night Assault Of The English Camp At Tweefontein By The. . " captured in vibrant colours through another lithograph. This pivotal moment highlights both triumphs and tribulations faced by those involved in this conflict. Amidst chaos and bloodshed, peace negotiations emerge with "An Interview With Boer Leaders And British Representatives. " This colourful lithograph portrays hope for resolution after three arduous years at war – a testament to humanity's yearning for harmony even amidst strife. A significant turning point arrives with the formal annexation ceremony where Bloemfontein witnesses its Royal Standard being hoisted, symbolizing the birth of a new colony.
