EDITORS COMMENTS
Ex-President Kruger" is a captivating black and white engraving of Paul Kruger, a prominent South African politician and the last President of the South African Republic of Transvaal from 1883 to 1900. The image, created by the Duffus Brothers based on a photograph, is taken from the ninth volume of "Cassell's History of England," published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne around 1900. Kruger, born Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger on October 10, 1825, was a charismatic leader known as "Oom Paul" or "Uncle Paul" among the Boer people. He played a significant role in the Second Boer War against the British, which lasted from 1899 to 1902. In this engraving, Kruger is depicted as a distinguished and bearded man, wearing a formal suit and a top hat. His piercing gaze and strong facial features convey a sense of determination and resilience. The print provides a historical snapshot of a pivotal figure in South African politics during the late 19th century. Kruger's image was widely circulated and became an iconic representation of the Boer resistance against British rule. Today, "Ex-President Kruger" remains an essential piece of historical documentation and a testament to the complex political landscape of the time. The Duffus Brothers, renowned for their engraving skills, expertly captured the essence of Kruger's character and legacy in this image. The print serves as a reminder of the rich history and complex political dynamics that shaped South Africa during the 1900s. Despite the unknown creator of the original photograph, the engraving by the Duffus Brothers has become a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, literature, or art that focuses on South African politics and the Boer War era.
