EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the life of a Boer farmer's wife in 1931 South Africa. Taken from the renowned book "Historic Farms of South Africa" by Dorothea Fairbridge, this color print showcases the rich history and agricultural heritage of the African continent. In this intimate interior scene, we see a male figure, presumably the farmer himself, sitting at a table engrossed in his occupation. A quill pen rests in his hand as he meticulously attends to his work. Beside him sits an elegant feline companion, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the scene. The room is adorned with traditional furniture that exudes charm and authenticity. Every detail tells a story - from the rustic wooden table to the carefully placed objects on its surface. The atmosphere evokes a sense of simplicity and tranquility that was characteristic of farm life during this era. Two young boys stand nearby, observing their father's work with curiosity and admiration. It is evident that they are learning valuable skills from him, preparing them for their future roles as farmers themselves. This photograph not only captures an ordinary moment in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of Boer farmers throughout history. It stands as an important reminder of our connection to our land and roots—a tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to nurturing it for generations past and present.
