Boer Boers Chairs Council Councillors Doctor Kruger Minister Ministers Southern Wicker
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in South African political history, featuring President Paul Kruger and Dr. Leyds, along with his Ministers of State, gathered around a table in the Boer Republic of Transvaal in the late 1800s. The image showcases a group of influential figures, including councillors and ministers, seated around a wicker chair, deep in discussion. President Paul Kruger, a prominent Boer leader, is seated at the head of the table, wearing a distinctive hat and holding a pipe. Dr. Leyds, a respected doctor and politician, sits to his right, wearing a suit and holding a document. The other ministers and councillors, dressed in formal attire, are arranged around the table, their expressions focused and serious. This photograph offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the Boer government during a pivotal time in South African history. The Boer Republics, also known as the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, existed from 1852 to 1902, when they were eventually annexed by the British. During this period, the Boers governed themselves, implementing their own laws and policies. The men in this photograph played crucial roles in shaping the future of South Africa. Dr. Leyds, for example, served as the Transvaal's first Chief Justice and later became the first Prime Minister of the Orange Free State. President Kruger, meanwhile, led the Boers during the Second Boer War and was a key figure in negotiations with the British during the peace talks that followed. This photograph is a valuable reminder of the complex history of South Africa and the important contributions of its leaders during a time of great change. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich historical record preserved by Mary Evans Prints Online.
