EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A Terrible Corner of the Boer Laager at Paardeberg in the River Bed" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image, created by Alexander Stuart Boyd in 1900, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced during the Boer War. The scene depicts a desolate river bed where a makeshift camp, known as a laager, has been set up by Boer soldiers. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere of chaos and despair. Tents are scattered haphazardly amidst barren surroundings while weary soldiers can be seen engaged in various activities. The title suggests that this particular corner of the laager is particularly dreadful. Perhaps it was here that battles were fought or lives were lost. Regardless, it serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by both sides during this conflict. As we observe this print from our vantage point today, we are transported back to South Africa at the turn of the 20th century. It allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those involved and gain insight into their experiences. This powerful engraving serves as an important historical document and testament to human resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in terrible corners such as these, stories unfold and lessons are learned for generations to come.
