EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the serene beauty of Elephants Creek in South Africa during the late 1890s. The scene unfolds before us as a tranquil body of water winds its way through the arid landscape, dotted with rocks and boulders. The name of the creek is a testament to the rich wildlife that once roamed these lands, with elephants being a prominent species in the region. The photograph is part of the extensive Boswell Collection, which documents the history of South Africa during the late 19th century. The collection, consisting of over 1,000 lantern slides, provides a unique insight into the country's past, capturing the essence of a time long gone. Elephants Creek, located in Box 287 of the collection, is a visual representation of the natural wonders that once existed in South Africa. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of the late 1800s. The crisp, clear water of the creek reflects the surrounding landscape, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the photograph's captivating allure. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and the history that comes with it. The Boswell Collection serves as an invaluable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of South Africa and the world. This photograph of Elephants Creek is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the enduring beauty of nature.
