War Supplies and Stores Drawn Over the Pontoon Bridge, Orange River, by Mule Teams

This view is photographed from the Cape Colony side, and shows the steep wooded banks of the Orange Free State in the back ground. The pontoon bridge is crossed by mule teams drawing war supplies, each followed by armed guards. A depression of the pontoons into the water as the heavy loads are drawn over them is distinctly depicted. The first person seen crossing the bridge and walking towards the camera is Mr Rosenthal, of our War Staff, he having just completed a series of pictures on the opposite side of the river, and is returning, carrying the Bioscope camera and tripod. Splendid definition. Photographed by Edgar M. Hyman, of our War Staff. 125 ft.
The Era, 28 avril 1900, p. 27.
