PRETORIA FRIEND, present-day South Africa, July 2, 1900
* From the Boer War in South Africa
* Rare title
The masthead states it is: "The Authorised Medium for Official News" From during the Boer War period, the front page contains a "Proclamation" with other war-related reports on the inside pages (see). The concern for safety was such that the top of pg. 2 notes: "Individual delivery of the 'Pretorial Friend' can not be undertaken under any circumstances." This newspaper is bilingual, partially in Dutch as well as English.
Complete in 4 pages, 16 by 11 inches, in excellent condition printed on thick, high-quality paper so not the least bit pulpish nor fragile. A nice rarity.
