President Steyn,
EDITORS COMMENTS
c1900: A Portrait of Martinus Theunis Steyn, the Last President of the Independent Orange Free State This black and white portrait depicts Martinus Theunis Steyn, a renowned South African lawyer and politician who served as the sixth and last president of the independent Orange Free State. The image, an engraving after a photograph, is taken from "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX," published by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne during the early 20th century. Steyn, born in 1837, was a prominent figure in South African politics, leading the resistance against British rule during the Second Boer War. In this portrait, Steyn is shown wearing a formal frock coat, a top hat, and a full beard, which was a common fashion among men of his time and social standing. The background of the image features an ornate chair and a simple table, suggesting a formal setting. The print also includes an inscription at the bottom, crediting Karl Anton Reinhold Thiele as the engraver. Thiele was a German-born artist and engraver who worked for various publishing houses, including Cassell and Company, throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political turmoil and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the complex and intriguing history of South Africa and the influential figures who shaped its destiny.
