This bird's eye view of Pretoria is from the Daily News on 6 Jun 1900:

An artist's impression of Pretoria from the Penny Illustrated Paper and Illustrated Times, Saturday, 9 Jun 00.

That is a huge flag, do you think, perhaps, the artist has used his licence here?

Frank,

This picture from WTFTP may be more accurate!



Best wishes

Kruger's stoep in Pretoria. Two State Artillerymen on guard. The marble lions were presented by Mr Barney Barnato.

Hello David,
The flag is rather smaller, but, still huge, with regards to Paul Kruger's house, I think those lions are still there are they not?
Barnato was born Barnett Isaacs, the name actually came from the contraction of "and Barney too" whilst on stage in the popular music hall theatres of the day!
Kind regards Frank
