This 1901 stereoscopic photograph, by an unknown artist, depicts Lord Frederick Roberts, the Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in South Africa during the Second Boer War, escorting Robert Baden-Powell to his headquarters in Pretoria. The image is a significant historical document, offering a glimpse into the events surrounding the Boer War. The photograph is part of the stereoscopic format, which creates a 3D effect when viewed through a stereoscope. These were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and provided a unique window into faraway places and events. The photograph showcases the importance of the two figures during the war, captured in a moment of military protocol.
