Gezicht op een pontonbrug over de Modderrivier in Zuid-Afrika 1900

This 1900 stereoscopic photograph titled "Gezicht op een pontonbrug over de Modderrivier in Zuid-Afrika" by an anonymous artist depicts a pontoon bridge built by Royal Engineers across the Modder River in South Africa. The image, likely a postcard, captures the bridge as a crucial piece of infrastructure in a war-torn region, potentially during the Second Boer War. The detailed depiction of the bridge construction and the surrounding landscape offers a glimpse into the logistical challenges and the importance of communication during times of conflict. This photo is an example of early photographic documentation of historical events.
