EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Alfred Milner, 1st Viscount Milner (1854-1925), British statesman and colonial administrator, is depicted in this striking photograph, taken around the time of the Boer War (1899-1902). Milner's desk is cluttered with papers and maps, including one prominently displaying the railway lines in South Africa, reflecting his key role in the development of the railways in the region. The map serves as a testament to Milner's influence in the colonial administration, particularly during the tumultuous period leading up to and following the Boer War. Milner's reputation as a formidable figure in British imperial history was solidified during his tenure as High Commissioner in South Africa, where he played a pivotal role in ending the Boer War. The hostilities ceased in June 1899, just prior to the publication of this illustration. Milner's policies, which included the implementation of the "Milner Reforms," aimed to promote Anglo-Boer reconciliation and integrate the Boer republics into the British Empire. Seated comfortably in his chair, Milner appears thoughtful and resolute, with a pin fastened to his lapel and a plush cushion at his feet. The image conveys a sense of determination and purpose, as Milner navigated the complex political landscape of colonial administration in Africa during a time of great upheaval. The Boer War and its aftermath marked a turning point in the history of the British Empire, and Milner's role in shaping its future is a significant chapter in that story.
