The Boer War - the exploits of Christiaan de Wet
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Boer War, showcasing the remarkable achievements of Christiaan de Wet, one of the most formidable commanders of the Boers. In this color lithograph by French School from the 20th century, we witness De Wet's audacious surprise attack on a British army camp at Tweefontein (Battle of Groenkop). The image portrays an intense scene filled with tension and action. De Wet's guerrilla campaign against the British was relentless, and here we see his forces launching a daring assault on their unsuspecting enemy. The orange free state soldiers are depicted engaging in fierce combat as they engage with their well-equipped adversaries. The artwork beautifully illustrates Le Petit Journal's coverage of this significant event that took place on January 19,1902. It serves as a testament to both De Wet's strategic brilliance and the resilience displayed by South African fighters throughout this conflict. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us of the brutal realities faced by those involved in colonial wars. It also highlights how conflicts like these shaped nations and left lasting imprints on European history. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a powerful reminder of humanity's capacity for bravery and sacrifice amidst times of turmoil.
