EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Armoured Train, carrying Colt Guns, at Braamfontein" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the power and might of an armoured train during the Second Boer War. The scene unfolds at Braamfontein, South Africa, where this formidable military vehicle stands proudly on the railway tracks. Its imposing presence is further emphasized by the colt guns it carries; weapons that were instrumental in shaping the outcome of battles during this tumultuous time. Published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 8th, 1900, this photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal era. It transports us to a world where railways played a crucial role in warfare strategies and armament transportation. As we examine every detail captured by the skilled lens of the anonymous English photographer, we can't help but be drawn to Vereeniging and Pretoria written on some of its carriages. These names serve as reminders of specific locations tied to historical events surrounding the Boer War. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph preserves not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as testament to human ingenuity and determination amidst conflict. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece of documentary photography that continues to captivate viewers today.
