This stereoscopic photograph, taken in 1901 by an anonymous photographer, depicts a scene from the Second Boer War. The image shows a large group of British soldiers resting during their journey to Bloemfontein, South Africa. The soldiers, under the command of Lord Roberts, are spread out in a field, with their equipment and belongings scattered around them. The photograph provides a glimpse into the everyday life of British soldiers during the war, highlighting the hardship and monotony of their experiences. The stereoscopic format, with its two images slightly offset, creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope, offering a more immersive experience for viewers.
