This stereoscopic photograph, created by an anonymous photographer in 1901, captures a scene from the Second Boer War in South Africa. Titled "Gezicht op een rotsheuvel met vier Britse soldaten op de voorgrond, 4 juni 1900," the image depicts four British soldiers in a rocky landscape, possibly during a reconnaissance mission or an advance on enemy positions. This photograph, measuring 88 mm in height and 178 mm in width, serves as a visual record of a significant historical event. The starkness of the landscape and the soldiers' determined postures convey the harsh realities of warfare in the early 20th century. The stereoscopic effect, created by the two side-by-side images, provides a heightened sense of depth and realism to the scene, further immersing the viewer in the historical moment.
