EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of Ex-President Kruger to Europe aboard the Dutch Cruiser, "Gelderland". Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image showcases the majestic cruiser docked at a port, its imposing presence dominating the scene. The ship's sleek design and impressive engineering works are evident, reflecting Rotterdam Shipbuilding's expertise. This maritime marvel was chosen for the important task of bringing President Kruger to Europe. Paul Kruger, known as Ex-President Kruger, was a prominent figure in South African history. He served as President of Transvaal from 1883 to 1900 and played a crucial role during the Second Boer War against British forces. His visit to Europe aboard "Gelderland" marked an important diplomatic event. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into this historic voyage that took place on October 20th, 1900. It captures not only the significance of President Kruger's journey but also highlights the advancements in photography during that era. Preserved by Bridgeman Images under their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, this image serves as a reminder of past events that shaped our world today.
