BOTHA LOUIS: (1862-1919) Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa 1910-19.

Vintage signed postcard photograph of Botha in a head and shoulders pose intensely looking directly towards the camera. Signed ('Louis Botha') in bold, dark fountain pen ink with his name alone across a clear area of the image. A couple of very light, extremely minor creases to the lower right corner, otherwise VGBotha served as the first Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa. A Boer war hero during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), he would eventually fight to have South Africa become a British Dominion.
