EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Durban Street Scene: West Street, Looking East' dates back to circa 1900, offering a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Durban, South Africa. The image showcases the vibrant energy and diversity of transportation during this era. Horses and their carriages, a common mode of transport at the time, are seen sharing the bustling streets with a double-decker omnibus. The horses, with their proud heads held high, pull various types of carts, from the simple to the ornate, adding to the scene's charm. The double-decker omnibus, a symbol of modernity, stands out with its imposing presence, sandwiched between the traditional horse-drawn vehicles. The photograph also highlights the splendidly ornate buildings that line West Street. Their architectural grandeur speaks volumes about the prosperity and sophistication of Durban during the early 1900s. The intricate details of the facades, the tall, arched windows, and the grand entrances all contribute to the visual appeal of the photograph. This photograph is an excellent representation of the unique blend of old and new that characterized Durban during this period. It serves as a testament to the city's rich history and its transformation over time. The variety of horse-drawn transport and the double-decker omnibus passing between the ornate buildings is a captivating sight that continues to intrigue and inspire.
