This stereoscopic photograph by Underwood & Underwood captures the scene of General Sir Redvers Henry Buller crossing the Tugela River in Natal, South Africa during the Second Boer War. The photograph, taken in 1901, depicts a panoramic view of the river, with a solitary figure standing on the bank, likely a guide or soldier. The image provides a glimpse into the historical context of the Boer War and the strategic importance of river crossings for military operations. Stereoscopic photography, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope.
