EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Boers reading Lord Kitchener's proclamation in South Africa. The image showcases the tension and gravity of the Boer War, as General Kitchener attempted to quell Boer resistance and bring an end to the conflict. In this scene, we witness a group of Boers engrossed in reading the proclamation issued by Lord Kitchener. The proclamation declared that any Boers still bearing arms against the British after 15 September 1901 would face severe consequences such as transportation for life and confiscation of their property. This ultimatum marked a critical turning point in the war. The colour litho technique used to reproduce this photograph adds depth and vibrancy to every detail, enhancing our understanding of this historical event. The intensity on the faces of those depicted reflects their determination and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Published originally as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on 1 September 1901, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder of Britain's colonial presence in South Africa during that era. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one chapter within the broader narrative of British imperialism and its impact on both South Africa and Europe at large.
