EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Meeting of Boers at Paardekraal Held Every Years in Celebration of the Regaining of their Independence,' captures a significant moment in South African history. The image, created by photographer Will B. Robinson around the turn of the 20th century, depicts a gathering of Boer men at the Paardekraal Monument in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, South Africa. The monument commemorates the original site where Transvaal Boers made a vow on 13 December 1880, prior to the First Boer War, to regain their independence from the British Empire. The scene is set in an open, grassy area, with several covered wagons parked nearby, suggesting a sense of nomadic tradition and the importance of transportation in the region. Boer men, dressed in hats and long-sleeved shirts, are gathered around a large monument, some standing, others seated, as they engage in conversation and celebrate their shared history. The monument itself is adorned with intricate engravings, adding to the historical significance of the site. This photograph is an illustration from 'Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX,' published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that continue to shape South Africa's identity, as well as the complex history of the region's struggle for independence.
