Britse soldaten en gevangengenomen Afrikanen poseren nabij een legerkamp in de buurt van Slingersfontein Possibly 1900 - 1916

This is a 3D stereo-image of British soldiers and captured Africans near Slingersfontein. It was created anonymously. Imagine the photographer setting up their equipment in this desolate landscape, the white tents of the army camp stark against the dry earth and distant mountains. The men stand stiffly, posing for the camera, their expressions unreadable. The British soldiers, with their helmets and rifles, exude an air of authority, while the captured Africans stand passively, their fate uncertain. You can almost feel the heat of the sun and the weight of the historical moment bearing down on these figures. What were they thinking, what were their hopes and fears? This photograph is a moment frozen in time, a reminder of the complexities and contradictions of colonialism.
