EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Bloemfontein in 1901, a significant moment in history captured by the talented Donald E M Cracken. The town of Bloemfontein, once the capital of the Orange Free State, stands proud and resilient as an independent Boer sovereign republic until 1902 when it became part of South Africa. This image is sourced from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. IV - To Lord Robertss Reign in Pall Mall" by J. Maclaren Cobban. As we gaze upon this colorful snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bustling avenue lined with charming buildings that tell tales of British influence and colonial architecture. It was during this era that Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Lord Roberts or Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford, played a prominent role in shaping the destiny of both Britain and South Africa. The photograph captures not only the physical landscape but also evokes a sense of historical significance. It serves as a reminder that Bloemfontein was witness to great political changes during its transition from an independent republic to becoming part of modern-day South Africa. Through this remarkable piece by Donald E M Cracken, we can appreciate how photography has the power to transport us through time and connect us with our past.
