EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the dramatic landscapes of South Africa during the 2nd Boer War in 1901. Taken by Underwood & Underwood, it showcases the Middle Falls of the Tugela River from a Boer laager near Colenso. The image captures the raw power and beauty of nature as the river cascades down a hill, creating a mesmerizing waterfall that cuts through the rugged terrain. The flowing water symbolizes both life and conflict, reflecting the turbulent times of war that unfolded in this very location. Colenso holds historical significance as it was here that General Redvers Bullers Natal Field Force suffered a major defeat at the hands of Boer forces on December 15th, 1899. This battle marked an important turning point in British military strategy during their campaign against Boer resistance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this photograph, emphasizing its timeless quality and allowing us to immerse ourselves in history. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of Britain's colonial ambitions and their impact on geographical features around the world. This stereoscopic card not only serves as a visual record but also sparks our curiosity about past events and human experiences within these landscapes. It is a testament to how photography can capture moments frozen in time while simultaneously igniting our imagination with stories waiting to be discovered.
