EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when Stephanus Johannes Paulus "Paul" Kruger, the renowned South African politician and President of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1900, arrived at the Lyons Station in Paris, France in 1900. Kruger, who came to international prominence as the face of the Boer cause against Britain during the Second Boer War, is seen here being greeted by a large crowd, including Mr. Crozier, the Director of the Protocol, Senator Guerin, and the president of the municipal council. The Hotel Scribe, a grand establishment located at the corner of Boulevard des Capucines, can be seen in the background. Kruger's arrival in Paris marked a significant moment in the political landscape of both South Africa and Europe, as he sought refuge and diplomatic support amidst the ongoing conflict. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in the history of South Africa and its struggle for independence.
