EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Annexation of the Orange Free State during the 2nd Boer War on May 28,1900. Lord Roberts, the British commander-in-chief, made the announcement of annexation on May 24th. The ceremony took place in Bloemfontein, the capital of the state. In this image, we see Lord Acheson hoisting the Royal Standard while mounted on his horse. Lord Acheson had been wounded at Modder River but bravely participated in this commemorative event. The atmosphere is one of celebration and victory as soldiers and military personnel gather to witness this historic occasion. The photo showcases elements that symbolize colonialism and warfare - cavalry troops, infantry units, flags waving proudly in triumph. It represents a defining moment for Britain's empire-building efforts during that era. The composition is vertical with an emphasis on capturing both human subjects and animals alike - men dressed in military attire alongside their loyal horses. This visual juxtaposition highlights their unity and shared purpose. Taken by Ann Ronan Pictures, this print serves as a powerful reminder of South Africa's tumultuous past and its connection to British imperialism. It encapsulates not only a specific time period but also reflects broader themes such as courage, patriotism, and national identity within historical context.
