EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history during the South African War, Campaigning, and after. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the farewell scene at Pretoria Railway Station. The United States Consul General Adalbert Hay is bidding goodbye to British troops as they prepare to leave for home after their involvement in the war. The photograph beautifully portrays a mix of emotions - from soldiers eagerly boarding trains to return home, to correspondents capturing every detail of this significant event. Boer prisoners can be seen alongside military attaches and even Lady Arthur Grosvenor herself. The topography of Pretoria adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the significance of this departure. Intriguing elements such as a dynamite gun and camp setup provide insight into the military tactics employed during this conflict. This visual documentation offers viewers a glimpse into not only the physical aspects but also the human stories behind one of history's most notable wars. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph serves as an illustration for The Illustrated London News published on September 1st, 1900. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures that its historical value will continue to be appreciated by generations interested in understanding our past through photography's lens.
