Herinneringsbord Boerenoorlog: vechtende mannen 1899 - 1925

This commemorative plate, titled "Herinneringsbord Boerenoorlog: vechtende mannen," depicts a scene from the Second Boer War, which took place in South Africa between 1899 and 1902. Created by Petrus Regout between 1899 and 1925, the black and white image shows a dramatic moment of battle with soldiers on horseback and a cannon, recalling the conflict's intensity. The plate, a testament to the war's impact, is a fascinating example of how everyday objects can serve as historical documents and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
