EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The British Occupation of Bloemfontein - An Evening Concert, 1900". Taken by A Forestier, it depicts the bustling Market Square filled with people from all walks of life. The Highland Brigade's pipers take center stage, their melodic tunes echoing through the air as they entertain the crowd. In this snapshot of colonial South Africa, women, men, and children gather together to enjoy an evening of music and socializing. The square is illuminated by lanterns that cast a warm glow on the scene. It showcases a vibrant mix of British soldiers and civilians interacting amidst the backdrop of war. The occupation of Bloemfontein marked a turning point in the Second Boer War. As British forces entered the Orange Free State on March 13th, 1900, they established control over its capital city. This led to the creation of the Orange River Colony shortly after. "The British Occupation of Bloemfontein" serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's territorial ambitions during this era and its impact on local communities. It encapsulates both military might and cultural exchange within one frame. Preserved in Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" this historical photograph offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in South African history while highlighting themes such as colonialism, warfare, interaction between different cultures, and daily life during that time period.
