EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic figure of Paul Kruger, taken around 1902-3 by a South African photographer. In this portrait, we see Kruger seated in a chair, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. His full beard frames his face, emphasizing his statesman-like appearance. Paul Kruger was more than just a leader; he was the State President of the South African Republic (Transvaal) during a tumultuous period in history. Known affectionately as Uncle Paul or Oom Paul in Afrikaans, he became internationally renowned for his role as the face of Boer resistance against British forces during the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1902. The photograph showcases Kruger's elderly features and dignified demeanor. He wears a top hat, adding to his distinguished presence. The composition is set against a doorway backdrop, providing depth to the image while highlighting Kruger's prominence within society. This historic photograph serves as a testament to Paul Kruger's enduring legacy as both an influential leader and symbol of Boer resistance. Preserved in private collection today, it offers us insight into one man's unwavering determination and commitment to fighting for what he believed in - even when faced with overwhelming odds.
