EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1901 in Natal, South Africa during the Boer War. The image showcases the impressive Pom-pom bridge and the Boer headquarters telegraph station, both situated along the picturesque Tugela River. The Pom-pom bridge stands as a symbol of engineering prowess, with its sturdy structure spanning over the flowing river below. It served as a vital link for transportation during this tumultuous time in history. The railway tracks on top of the bridge remind us of how crucial railways were for moving troops and supplies across vast distances. In contrast to the industrial elements, we see a glimpse into communication technology at that time through the presence of a telegraph station near Boer headquarters. This Victorian-era method allowed messages to be sent quickly across long distances, enabling strategic coordination between military units. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this historical scene, emphasizing its significance as a relic from another era. As we observe this print today, it serves as a reminder of not only technological advancements but also human resilience amidst conflict. Underwood & Underwood has masterfully captured this moment in time, allowing us to reflect on how geography and location played pivotal roles in shaping history. Through their lens, they have preserved an important chapter in South African history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
