Additional Information

The Boer War in Postcards provides a unique record of the way in which the war was perceived by the people and countries involved in the conflict of 1899-1902. The cards mirror the events of the war; the British ones full of patriotic fervour and popular enthusiasm being in marked contrast with those produced on the Continent, where French, German and Dutch publishers strongly supported the stand of Kruger and his Boers against British 'imperialism'. Postcards dating from the Boer War were among the first British cards to be mass-produced and, as such, they are not only of particular interest to postcard collectors, but stand as valid historical documents in their own right.
