Leander Starr Jameson taken prisoner after the failure of the Jameson Raid, South Africa, 1896.

Leander Starr Jameson taken prisoner after the failure of the Jameson Raid, South Africa, 1896. The aim of the Jameson Raid was to initiate rebellion in Johannesburg by British settlers or 'Uitlanders'. It was sponsored by Cecil Rhodes, Prime Minister of the Cape Colony and managing director of the British South Africa Company. Jameson (1852-1917) and his troop of 500 were overwhelmed by the Boers and forced to surrender on 2 January 1896. The resultant furore led to the resignation of Rhodes as Prime Minister, but the raid was a significant factor in provoking the outbreak of the Boer War three years later. From Le Petit Journal Paris 2 January 1896.
