[edit]DescriptionPaneel van die historiese fries in die Heldesaal van die Voortrekkermonument.jpg |
Afrikaans: 'n Paneel van die historiese fries in die Heldesaal van die Voortrekkermonument, Pretoria. In hierdie paneel, die 2de uit 27, word 'n Bybel wat tans in die Senotaafsaal gehuisves word, deur vrederegter Thomas Philipps[1] (links, maar kyk nota) namens die Britse setlaars van Grahamstad en omgewing aan trekker Jacobus J. Uys (1770/71–1838, regs)[1] oorhandig. Die oorhandiging het c.20 April 1837 by 'n uitspanning net buite Grahamstad plaasgevind, waar die Bybelmonument / 33.29833°S 26.49806°E / -33.29833; 26.49806 tans geleë is. Die Graham's Town Journal het op die 27ste daaroor berig. Die 27 panele in Quercetta-marmer[2] beeld tonele uit van die uittog uit die Kolonie se grensdistrikte in 1835, tot die ondertekening van die Sandrivierkonvensie in 1852.
L.W.: Dit word aanvaar dat alhoewel William Rowland Thompson (1797‒1871) die toespraak by die geleentheid gelewer het, dit Thomas Philipps (1776‒1859) was wat die Bybel oorhandig het. Tog is die skenker wat links uitgebeeld word W.R.T., en is gebaseer op 'n foto wat aan die beeldhouer beskikbaar was. T. Philipps was Vrederegter in Grahamstad en die eerste meester van die Masonic Albany Lodge wat in 1828 gestig is. W. R. Thompson was een van Grahamstad se sewe kommissarisse wat in 1837 aangestel is, en was tegnies nie die "burgemeester" daarvan nie.[3] English: A panel of the historical frieze in the Hall of Heroes of the Voortrekker Monument, Pretoria. In this panel, the 2nd of 27, a Bible which is currently in the Cenotaph Hall exhibit, is presented by Thomas Philipps (left, but see note), on behalf of the British settlers of Grahamstown and its vicinity to voortrekker Jacobus J. Uys (1770/71–1838, at right).[1] The handover took place ca.20 April 1837 at an outspan (lay-by for wagons) just outside Grahamstown, where the Bible Monument / 33.29833°S 26.49806°E / -33.29833; 26.49806 is currently located. The Graham's Town Journal reported on the ceremony on the 27th. The 27 panels in Quercetta marble[2] portray scenes from the Trekker departure from the Colony's frontier districts in 1835, to the signing of the Sand River Convention in 1852.
Note: It is accepted that while William Rowland Thompson (1797‒1871) delivered the address at the occasion, it was Thomas Philipps (1776‒1859) who presented the Bible. Yet the gifter depicted at left is W.R.T., and is based on a photograph that was available to the sculptor. T. Philipps was Justice of Peace in Grahamstown and first master of the Masonic Albany Lodge, founded in 1828. W. R. Thompson was one of Grahamstown's seven commissioners appointed in 1837, and was technically not its "mayor".
