EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during the 2nd Boer War in South Africa on 6 February 1900. The image, taken by renowned photographers Underwood & Underwood, depicts British artillery in action as they valiantly save the Modder River Bridge. In this scene, we see a group of brave soldiers from the famous Garrison Artillery kneeling along the riverbank, their weapons aimed with precision towards an unseen enemy. These men represent the unwavering spirit of Victorian-era Britain and its military might. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the intensity of this historical moment, emphasizing the harsh realities of warfare during this era. The soldiers' military uniforms are meticulously detailed, showcasing their dedication to duty and discipline. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it serves as a reminder of both the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these British troops during one of history's most significant conflicts. It also highlights the broader themes of colonialism and imperialism that characterized much of Britain's involvement in foreign lands at that time. Preserved through stereoscopic photography on a stereoscopic card, this print offers us a unique glimpse into an important chapter in world history. It is not only a testament to human resilience but also serves as a valuable artifact for those interested in studying military strategy and tactics from early 20th-century warfare.
