EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Tugela River, Natal, South Africa during the Boer War in 1901. The image showcases an artistically composed scene by Underwood & Underwood, depicting the Boers crossing over a bridge constructed from railway ties. Little did they know that later on, they would face shelling from General Buller's forces. The monochrome composition adds to the intensity and gravity of this conflict-ridden landscape. The black and white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia for the Victorian era while highlighting the harsh realities of war. This photograph serves as a testament to British colonialism and its impact on South Africa during this period. The Tugela River stands as a geographical feature that played a crucial role in shaping battlefield strategies during the Boer War. Its presence symbolizes both division and connection between opposing forces. Through stereoscopic photography techniques, this image brings depth and dimension to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment. It provides us with valuable insight into one aspect of the complex narrative surrounding South African history at the turn of the 20th century. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Sir Redvers Buller's military tactics and his involvement in this particular battle at Colenso. This print is not only an artistic representation but also an important document preserving our collective memory of past conflicts and their consequences on nations far away from our own shores.
