About this scrapbook page:
Pretoria itself was founded in 1855 by Marthinus Pretorius, a leader of the Voortrekkers, who named it after his father Andries Pretorius. The elder Pretorius had become a national hero of the Voortrekkers after his victory over the Zulus in the Battle of Blood River. The photos are of the statue of Paul Kruger in the city centre.
Design credits:
The Jacaranda trees that line the city. The statue of Andries Pretorius in front of the City Hall and the cannon overlooking the city at Fort Klapperkop. The single photo is of the Voortrekker Monument. Kit - globetrotter by Paprika.
