Anglo-Boer War: IN AND ABOUT THE WAR Xmas Number of the Cape Times (December 1899) 44 pages, original green printed paper wrappers, photographic illustrations throughout, commercial advertisements on the wrappers and in the text. The wrappers are frayed with some loss, edges of some pages frayed, leaf 5/6 torn across the centre. Not in ‘A South African Bibliography’ or the Supplement. ‘The circumstances of the times, and the manner in which history is being made in South Africa, suggest a departure in the conception and style of the Christmas Number of the “Cape Times.” It had been contemplated publishing an Annual dealing more particularly with the Social, Artistic, and Literary life and works of the peoples of South Africa, but with War raging in the land and the whole course of South Africa history being changed it has been deemed advisable to deal with the great events of the times. Accordingly, the Christmas Number of 1899 will be devoted from a pictorial point of view to the Theatre of War, and will detail as far as may be in the circumstances with the events that have led to the present issue. Accordingly, we present a short and succinct account of South African history from the early thirties down to the present time, giving a sketch of the rise of the Dutch Republics and some particulars of the manner in which they have abused the greatest privileges which have even presented to any people on the face of the earth.’ From the Introduction.

It was immediately popular, part 1 being issued in a second edition shortly after it commenced. Taking advantage of the controversy of the time as to whether the work of war artists or photographs were the best way of pictorially recording the war the editor of The King, Walter Smith, promised ‘no imaginary drawings, only realistic photographs,’ would illustrate his magazine (Greenwall, `Artists & Illustrators of the Anglo-Boer War`, page 51). It ran from 6th January 1900 to 28th March 1903. The issues here contain numerous references to the Anglo-Boer War but also carry general news, social and other stories. There is a double-page article entitled “Stonewall” Kitchener’s Blockhouses (pages 74/5).
