EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of President Kruger, as he graces the front cover of Le Petit Journal on 2 December 1900. Created by the talented artist Oswaldo Tofani, this coloured engraving showcases a momentous occasion - President Kruger's visit to France during the Boer War. The image is filled with an array of flowers and flags, symbolizing the celebration surrounding his arrival. As one gazes upon this artwork, they can't help but feel a sense of admiration for this influential leader who fought tirelessly for his people. Despite being too old to participate in combat himself, President Kruger embarked on this journey to rally support for the Boers. His presence exudes wisdom and determination, encapsulating his dedication towards securing freedom and independence for his nation. The attention to detail in Tofani's work is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings out President Kruger's character and resilience. Displayed within a private collection today, this historical piece serves as a reminder of an era marked by conflict and struggle. It transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment when world leaders united in their efforts to shape history. This photograph print not only immortalizes President Kruger but also pays homage to all those who fought valiantly alongside him during these turbulent times in Africa's past.
