EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Underwood & Underwood in 1901, transports us back to the Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases the 84th Battery and Balloon Corps of Field Marshal Lord Roberts' army as they march towards Johannesburg. With a Victorian backdrop, this historical snapshot captures the essence of warfare during that era. The composition is filled with an array of elements that bring life to the scene. Soldiers clad in military uniforms can be seen marching confidently along a dusty road, accompanied by their loyal horses. Amidst them stands an observation balloon, symbolizing the advancements made in aerial reconnaissance during this time period. The photograph not only highlights the bravery and determination of these British troops but also provides a glimpse into daily life on campaign. The bustling street serves as a reminder that war affects not only soldiers but also civilians who witness its aftermath. Underwood & Underwood's expertise shines through this monochrome masterpiece, capturing every intricate detail with precision. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a powerful testament to history and reminds us of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country.
