This colorful lithograph transports us to a bygone era when Scottish culture was celebrated through exquisite attire. The Boers Firing the Veldt image takes us right into the heart of battle during the tumultuous year of 1900. It serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by both sides during times of conflict. Lord Roberts State Entry into Bloemfontein offers a glimpse into grandeur as this historic event unfolds before our eyes.
