EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts President Kruger's Residence at Pretoria, South Africa, created by A.E. Huitt around the turn of the 20th century. The image is an illustration derived from a photograph and was originally published in "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX" by Cassell and Company, Limited. The residence, also known as the official home of Paul Kruger, served as the abode of the renowned Boer leader and President of the Transvaal Republic. Kruger, affectionately known as 'Oom Paul' or 'Uncle Paul,' was a significant figure in South African history, leading the Boers during the Second Boer War against the British. The exterior of the residence, as captured in this print, showcases its grandeur and architectural elegance. The whitewashed walls, tall columns, and intricate detailing are reminiscent of the European influence that permeated the region during that era. The residence, which was also known as 'Silverton' or 'The Old Fort,' stood as a symbol of power and authority for Kruger and the Transvaal Republic. The print, engraved by A.E. Huitt and published by N.P. Edwards for Cassell and Company, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a visual representation of a pivotal moment in South African history. The image is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Pretoria and the enduring legacy of Paul Kruger.
