The Surrender of Kroonstadt - Troops Marching Past Lord Roberts and Staff, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the surrender of Kroonstad to the British forces on May 11th, 1900. The image showcases a procession of troops marching past Lord Roberts and his staff, creating an awe-inspiring sight. In this scene, we see men and women from all walks of life gathered along the road to witness this historic event. Among them are civilians, both young and old, who have come out to observe the victorious British army as they pass by on horseback. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and admiration for these brave soldiers. Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts takes center stage in this photograph, exuding authority as he stands tall among his mounted staff members. His presence symbolizes the power and might of the British Empire during this time period. The composition beautifully captures not only the military aspect but also highlights elements of South African culture with its vast landscape serving as a backdrop. This image serves as a reminder of colonialism's impact on South Africa during that era. Preserved through time in Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" this print allows us to delve into history while appreciating artistry captured by Samuel Begg. It serves as a testament to bravery, victory, and surrender amidst one of the most significant conflicts -the Boer Wars- that shaped South African history forever.
