In the Track of the Boers : A Loyal Family Returning to their Wrecked Homestead. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, May 12th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Ralph Cleaver from a Photograph by Reinhold Thiele, called "In the Track of the Boers :  A Loyal Family Returning to their Wrecked Homestead."

The story here depicted is unfortunately one that is told in the north of both Natal and in Cape Colony by loyal farmers and others who were compelled to flee when the Boers approached their neighbourhood during their invasion of the Colonies.  In many cases the fugitive families have returned to their homes since the Boers have been driven back, only to find the house damaged by shell fire, and the furniture wantonly wrecked and strewn about.  But it is still home, and misfortunes are cheerfully borne when the Union Jack is hoisted.

Condition is Very Good.
