EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the 2nd Boer War in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1900. The image showcases the brave men of the South African Light Horse as they prepare to embark on their journey to the front lines. With Adderley Street bustling with activity, this snapshot beautifully depicts a scene filled with traffic and transport. The composition highlights an array of elements that bring life to the photograph - from horses majestically ridden by skilled riders to buildings lining the street and people going about their daily lives. It is evident that this was a time of conflict and tension, as soldiers donning military uniforms stand ready for battle. As part of the British army, these volunteers played a crucial role in defending their country against opposing forces. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this historical moment captured by Underwood & Underwood through stereoscopic photography. This print serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on nations like South Africa within the context of British empire expansion. It stands as a testament to both bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought for what they believed in during one of history's most challenging times.
