EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting King Williams Town Botanical Gardens in all its glory. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is a part of a private collection that has been preserved over time. The gardens, covering acres of land along the Buffalo River, are beautifully laid out with capacious conservatories and spacious lawns. In this picture, we see a serene scene unfold as people enjoy their evenings in this picturesque setting. A military band plays melodious tunes near a memorial dedicated to those slain in wars. Families gather for leisurely activities such as swimming and playing games on the fifteen-acre grounds. The botanical gardens were not only a place for relaxation but also served as a hub for social events and festivities. Subscriptions were made to maintain these stunning gardens which frequently hosted fetes and illuminated bridge nights that attracted people from all walks of life. King Williams Town's rich history is evident through this photograph, capturing both its natural beauty and cultural significance. It offers us a glimpse into South African life during that era, showcasing how locals embraced nature within their neighborhood. This remarkable image allows us to appreciate the artistry of early photography while immersing ourselves in the charm of King Williams Town Botanical Gardens over a century ago.
