THE DENIS GODFREy COLLECTION 

n.p. 

The collection comprises of 

approximately 160 original 

Anglo-Boer War photographs 

22 by 28cm 

loose leaf holder with plastic 

‘pocketed’ pages to hold the 

collection of photographs mostly 

14cm by 9cm some larger (½ plate 

to full plate) some ¼ plate, with 

identification list, no doubt typed 

by Godfrey. Although the photos 

are unnumbered it is quite easy to 

match captions to photographs, 

mostly this is unnecessary as 

a large number have captions 

written on the back that date from 

the Anglo-Boer War. The album 

contains photos that Godfrey 

assembled individually as well 

as from two period collections. 

Photographs include a series 

showing 6 of Boer and British dead 

at Spion Kop, Gideon Scheepers 

in hospital, Military Governor 

and his staff at Bloemfontein in 

their office, CIV, British prisoners 

arriving at the Staats Model School, 

Pretoria, many campaign scenes 

and recently erected battlefield 

monuments etc.

ANGLO-BOERE OORLOG MEDALJE

P.J. VAN RENSBURG 

Attached to original signed certificate

“Hendrick Abraham Alberts Vecht - 

General van de afdeeling bestaande 

uit de Commandos van Heidelberg, 

Pretoria enz. In die Zuid Afrikaansche 

Republiek, Heidelberg 5 Juni 1902” 

addressed to Pieter Johannes Janze 

van Rensburg. Van Rensburg was 

the only burgher of that name and 

commando to serve in the forces 

of the ZAR 1899-1902 as confirmed 

by a copy of his application for the 

medal issued in 1 Nov 1948. The 

document confirms his service 

under Alberts and that he served for 

the duration of the war including the 

besieging of Ladysmith, Platrand, 

Modder River, Boesman Kop, 

Heidelberg, Bakenlaagte and Bethal. 

The medal was claimed by van 

Rensburg’s family as he had passed

5,2 by 2,4 by 4,2cm 

A skilfully crafted slipcase with two 

books carved out of green stone. See 

Note with Lot 563 on the previous 

history of J.C. van der Merwe. On 

spines of books “Dagboeken van 

myn gevangenschap”. The sides 

of the slipcase have the following 

inscriptions “J.C. v.d. Merwe, 

Lokale Tronk, Pretoria 10 Mei 1915”, 

“Gevangen 29-10-1914, Lichtenburg 

Dist”, “Ter Aan denken, aan de 

Rebellie 1914 en ‘15” 

and two others also of 1914 Rebellion 

and Anglo-Boer War interest ♦ A

“Pretoria Gevangenis 29 Maart 1915” 

♦ A black stone plaque, 7,5 by 

5,5cm with the ZAR Coat of Arms 

on the obverse with inscription 

“Pretoria Tronk”, “JC vd Merwe 

Rebel 20.10.14 to 4.3.15” and the 

reverse with a heart and a crossed 

anchor and Christian cross and the 

inscription “Geloof God Regeerd.

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA COAT OF 

ARMS 

circa 1914-1915 

14,5 by 10,5cm 

Carved stone plaque with the 

inscription “Aan W. Jansen van J.C. 

v.d. Merwe No. 2175 Rebellie 1914 

en 1915 G.J.C. Snijman 3037” Here 

van der Merwe has added the name 

of Snijman, a fellow prisoner, as the 

gift of the plaque was from both of 

them. ‘Ouma Jan’ (W. Jansen) was 

the old lady who gave the plaques and 

Rebellion souvenirs to the vendor in 

Pretoria circa 1955/56. The reverse has 

an interesting deeply carved cartouche 

of two reclining buck, probably meant 

to portray a duiker or springbok and the 

inscription “Gedachtenis van de lokale 

Gevangenis Re Pretoria” 

See note about the previous history 

of J.C. van der Merwe in Notes of 

Lot 563. 

It is of exceptional interest that 

van der Merwe should choose to 

carve a detailed coat of arms of 

the Union of South Africa which 

represented the Government 

that had captured van der Merwe 

and imprisoned him during the 

1914/15 Rebellion.

Z.A.R. COAT OF ARMS

stone plaque with Rebellion and

“Lokale Gevangenis Pretoria Rebellie 

1914-1915” on the obverse with “27 

April 1915” on the reverse of the 

stone slab 

It is interesting to note that the “Anglo- 

Boere Oorlog Medalje Rol” by D.R. 

Forsyth records three J.C. van der 

Merwe’s, all of whom were prisoners 

of war. They would have been exposed 

to the making of souvenirs while in 

P.O.W. camps. Now in 1914 van der 

Merwe found himself a prisoner of 

war once again and practised his art 

♦ and another fitted to a detachable 

stone plinth, size 6,6 by 4,5cm, with 

inscription on reverse of tablet “J.C. 

van der Merwe Tijdens de Rebellie

CAFFRE - PLATE 14 

Who J. W. was remains an enigma. In 1851 the London firm of W. Robert & Lowes 

Dickinson published ‘The Caffre Tribes: Sketches of some of the various classes 

and tribes inhabiting the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope and the Interior of 

Southern Africa, with a brief account Descriptive of the Manners and Customs of 

Each’. The 41 plates were by ‘J. W.’, Dickinson states that ‘J. W.’, the artist, was a 

talented gentleman many years resident at the Cape. Research by A Gordon-Brown 

suggests that the identity of ‘J. W.’ was J. White - see Africana Notes and News - 

Vol 20 P17-19. ‘J. W.’ and also A. Gordon-Brown - Pictorial Africana, 1975 ‘J.W.’ in 

any event was a Cape Civil servant who made these sketches/watercolours and 

sold them to visitors to the Cape in the 1840’s. His watercolours, unacknowledged, 

were used in several publications in the mid 1800’s. ‘J. W.’ numbered his 

watercolours.

South Africa appear in that publication. He went to South 

Africa on five separate occasions besides the Anglo-Boer 

War, The Last Kaffir War of 1878, The Zulu War 1879, The 

Transvaal (Anglo-Boer) War of 1881 and the Jameson Raid 

of 1895-6. He wrote an account of his experiences in SA 

in ‘Campaigns of a War Correspondent’. See Greenwall 

‘Artists and Illustrators of the Anglo-Boer War’ for a 

comprehensive biography p. 188-190. Prior can be rated 

as the most famous was correspondent and illustrator of 

the last ¼ of the 19th century - particularly of the Anglo- 

Boer War.

ON THE HIGHVELDT 1 & 2 

n.p. 1900 

two original character studies in pencil during the Anglo- 

Boer War on the Highveld of the Transvaal 1900. Greenwall 

has titled these ‘On the Highveldt 1 & 2’. The artist has 

called the first ‘On the Highveldt’ and the second ‘On Trek 

with Ox Wagon’. Along the way, during the monotony of 

accompanying a wagon column, Wollen saw fit to capture 

on paper these two Boers he encountered. 

31 by 34cm 

appropriately framed: each signed by artist William B. 

Wollen was a special artist, military painter and illustrator 

and worked for publications - The Illustrated London News, 

The Graphic and The Sphere. He covered the movements 

of Lord Metheun on the western front of the Cape 

Colony and thereafter with Lord Roberts. Wollen was 

part of the production team of ‘The Friend’ newspaper in 

Bloemfontein and his work was lavishly praised in Carter’s 

Book ‘The Work of the War Artists in South Africa’ (also see 

Greenwall P233-4 “Artists and Illustrators of two Anglo- 

Boer War” for a full biography). (2)
