Original caption |
Original description as presented by the Swaziland National Trust Commission's Digital Archives: English: Boer Family, 1886. The Boers (Afrikaans for farmers) were of Dutch descent. Recognised by many Africans as a tribe, they were a semi-nomadic cattle owning people. When faced with situations they did not like (i.e. emancipation of slaves in the Cape by the British) they loaded up their oxwagons and trekked. Their life and values were based upon the Old Testament which was the guide on their travels. When they were faced with loss of land and political control by the British quest for gold, they were unable to find more land and so they fought - the results were the Boer Wars. |

The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information). | |
