Gezicht op een plek vanaf waar gevochten is in de Tweede Boerenoorlog bij de Krantzkloof 1901

This stereograph, captured by Underwood & Underwood, shows a site of conflict during the Second Boer War. Dominating the scene are the stone fortifications, stark symbols of human struggle and defense. These rough, hastily constructed barriers, speak to a primal need for protection, echoing the ancient fortifications of Jericho or the ramparts of Mycenae. Across time and cultures, we see this recurring motif: humanity's response to threat. Think of the Great Wall of China, or even the trenches of World War I. Each structure, a physical manifestation of fear, resilience, and the will to survive. Here, in the Krantzkloof, these stones bear silent witness. This stark landscape evokes a somber emotional response, drawing us into the psychological space of conflict and survival, deeply resonating within our collective memory.
