EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Britisher and Boer, Major-General French and President Kruger's Cousin discussing the Crisis on Board the Union Liner 'Norman'" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts an intense conversation taking place aboard the majestic Union Liner 'Norman' during the Second Boer War. In this thought-provoking scene, Major-General French, representing the British side, engages in a discussion with President Kruger's cousin from the Boer camp. Both men appear deeply engrossed in their exchange as they grapple with the crisis at hand. Their contrasting attire symbolizes their respective allegiances and adds visual depth to this historical snapshot. The setting of a grand liner further emphasizes the gravity of their conversation. The ship serves as a metaphorical bridge between two worlds on opposing sides of conflict – one seeking to maintain control over South Africa while another fighting for independence. This powerful illustration was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 7th, 1899. Its inclusion within such esteemed publications speaks volumes about its significance during that era. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how diplomacy can unfold even amidst tense circumstances. It invites us to reflect upon past conflicts and appreciate efforts made towards resolution through dialogue rather than violence.
