EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the distinguished figure of Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr, a prominent South African politician of the early 20th century. The image, an engraving after a photograph, is taken from Cassell's History of England, Volume IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne around 1900. Hofmeyr, affectionately known as "Onze Jan" or "Our Jan," was a key figure in South African politics during a time of significant change and upheaval. His moustache and serious expression convey a sense of determination and gravitas, fitting for a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape of his country. The portrait was produced by Elliott and Fry, a renowned British firm specializing in photographic reproductions and engravings. The high-quality print showcases the intricacies of the engraving process, with every detail of Hofmeyr's facial features and clothing rendered with meticulous precision. The location of the original photograph is unknown, but the image has been preserved and shared through the pages of Cassell's History of England, allowing us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the important role Hofmeyr played in South African politics during the early 1900s. This portrait is a testament to the enduring power of historical records and the importance of preserving the stories and images of the past for future generations.
