EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Pretoria Scene (1901: Boer types awaiting examination for passes to go home in the Public Square, Pretoria, while many look on)" takes us back in time to a significant moment during the Boer War. The image, captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, transports us to the heart of Pretoria's bustling public square. In this thought-provoking photograph, we witness a group of Boer men anxiously awaiting examination for passes that would grant them permission to return home. Their weary expressions and weathered faces tell stories of hardship endured during this tumultuous period in South African history. Standing tall amidst their peers, these individuals represent resilience and determination against all odds. As we observe this poignant scene unfold before our eyes, it becomes evident that they are not alone. Many onlookers gather around - curious bystanders who bear witness to the aftermath of war. Their presence adds depth and complexity to the narrative captured within this frame. The composition is strikingly framed with a view of an old vehicle cart in the background – a reminder that progress continues even amidst times of conflict. This juxtaposition serves as a visual metaphor for hope amid despair. Through its timeless quality and historical significance, this print from Fine Art Storehouse allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences throughout history. It invites us into an intimate moment frozen in time – one that speaks volumes about resilience, unity, and ultimately reminds us never to forget our past
