‘Terrific to experience the Anglo-Boer War in colour – as its participants had so many years ago! Without question a truly remarkable photo album of the war.’ FRANSJOHAN PRETORIUS, HISTORIAN


The Boer War in Colour

Our Books
The Boer War in Colour presents a remarkable collection of colourised photographs from one of the greatest conflicts ever fought on South African soil. The Boer War (1899–1902) pitted the two Boer republics—the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State—against the vast power of the British Empire.
Volume 1 covers the conventional phase of the war, from October 1899 to September 1900. The photographs depict the Boer incursions into Natal and the Cape Colony, the sieges of Ladysmith, Kimberley, and Mafeking, and major battles such as Elandslaagte, Magersfontein, and Paardeberg. It also includes the subsequent British invasion and annexation of the two Boer republics.
Volume 2 focuses on the guerrilla phase of the war, from 1900 to 1902. The images capture both Boer and British forces, the devastating scorched earth campaign, and the overseas prisoner-of-war camps that held captured Boers. Also featured are rare photographs of the peace negotiations and the war’s aftermath.
The Boer War in Colour brings together many iconic photographs alongside previously unpublished images. These volumes are the first to present the conflict entirely in colour—offering a vivid new perspective and transforming this chapter of history into living memory.
