From the Boer War in South Africa...
Item # 598201
July 04, 1900
PRETORIA FRIEND from present-day South Africa, July 4, 1900 The masthead states it is: "The Authorised Medium for Official News" From during the Boer War period, the front page contains a "Government Notices" with other war-related reports on the inside pages (see).
The concern for safety was such that a page 2 item notes: "Individual delivery of the 'Pretoria Friend' can not be undertaken under any circumstances." Page 2 also has the: "Crisis in China - Dreadful Fire - The Late Major Orr-Ewing". This newspaper is bilingual, partially in Dutch as well as English.
This is a complete, 4 page issue measuring about 16 by 11 inches, in absolutely excellent condition printed on thick, very high-quality paper. Not the least bit pulpish nor fragile. A nice rarity.
