EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The Transvaal War, Scenes of the Boer Retreat along the Delagoa Bay Railway" captures a significant moment in history. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image offers a glimpse into the turmoil of the Second Boer War. In this particular scene, we witness a group of Boer soldiers retreating along the Delagoa Bay Railway. The railway line skirts through Portuguese territory, providing an escape route for these war-weary fighters. As they make their way towards safety, they must cross temporary bridges like Kaap Bridge and Krokodil Poort to reach Mozambique's Maputo Bay. This photograph not only documents the physical landscape but also serves as an illustration for The Illustrated London News from September 8th, 1900. It offers viewers a visual representation of one aspect of the Transvaal War - capturing both its historical significance and human impact. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from their private collection. While it is important to note that commercial use should not be mentioned here, it is worth appreciating how photography can transport us back in time and allow us to reflect on past conflicts that have shaped our world today.
