Summary

Description

This is a caricature of Louis Botha headed "Both-a Boer and a Man" by South African cartoonist D. C. Boonzaier (in his Owlographs, 1901). The accompanying short poem, wryly praising Botha's guerilla tactics, reads:

Botha, now the papers say,
 Is clearly without artillery,
 But we know that they're wrong,
 For he carries a maxim true and strong,
 It has nothing to do with powder or ball,
 But it saves the Boers from many a fall,
 It refers to fighting and running away,
 So as to fight some other day
