Can any kind soul provide me a higher resolution photo of General Louis Botha or Commandant Hendrik Prinsloo?
I'd be very grateful!

The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

The best I could find.
Unfortunately only Lucas Meyer is properly in focus (or did not move). This was clearly a long exposure, as is evident from the ghostly figure striding from right to left between Botha and Erasmus.

I have a signed portrait photograph of Botha, but the quality is even worse.

I am delighted to say the War Museum of the Boer Republics has both these photos, and they can supply them!
Thanks, Neville, and anyone else who was looking for me.

I understand that my colleague, Etna, helped Rob with the photos. She is our Photo Curator.
