This was the result of improved technology in both photographic equipment and printing techniques. The area around Colesberg in the northern Cape Colony saw fierce fighting in early 1900. The Boers withdrew across the Orange River after the end of their siege of Kimberley. Using guerrilla tactics, they continued to harass the British in the area until the end of the war

Military, Soldier, War, Africa, Royalty
A stereoscopic image of Lord Roberts and Staff cheering the Queen - raising Union Jack on occupation of Pretoria, June 5th, S.A.
Of the 38,000 troops who had left Bloemfontein on 3 May 1900, only 26,000 entered Pretoria with Lord Roberts. Some had been left to garrison Johannesburg or dropped off to act as guards, about 3,000 were battle casualties, some had been lost through disease and other causes, but a high proportion were dismounted cavalrymen or mounted infantry left behind because their horses had died or were exhausted.
The march of some 480 km had been accomplished on short rations and in trying weather conditions in 34 days, including halts totalling 16 days, but it did achieve the decisive result which had been anticipated, Botha's peace proposals and the surrender of Pretoria had given the Boers a breathing space in which to regroup and restore morale, and they now determined to continue the campaign by means of guerrilla warfare.
