EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature from the early 1900s depicts Paul Kruger, the charismatic and formidable State President of the South African Republic (Transvaal) as an ogre, causing nightmares for various British politicians of the day. The terrifying figure of Oom Paul Kruger, as he was affectionately known, looms large over Marquis of Salisbury, Arthur Balfour, and Joseph Chamberlain, who are depicted hiding under their bedclothes in sheer fear. The cartoon, created by Francis Carruthers Gould, was published during a time of great political tension between the British Empire and the Boer Republics of South Africa. The Second Boer War had broken out in 1899, and the situation in Africa was a major problem for the British government. This lampoon, inspired by the popular children's book "Struwwelpeter," adds a whimsical yet ominous touch to the historical record of this tumultuous period. The image of Kruger as an ogre, with his menacing grin and oversized shoes, serves as a reminder of the fear and uncertainty that gripped the British political establishment during this time. This caricature is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the complex political dynamics of the late 19th century.
