EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures the grandeur of Mr Cecil Rhodes's new house in Grootschur, Cape Town. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The image was originally used as an illustration for a book titled "Fortunes Made In Business, Life Struggles of Successful People" published in 1901. In this snapshot, we catch a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of late Victorian millionaires. It showcases not only their wealth but also their remarkable achievements and success stories. Cecil Rhodes himself was one such entrepreneur who amassed great fortune through his business ventures in South Africa. The photograph serves as a testament to the early days of trade and entrepreneurship that shaped Cape Town's history. It symbolizes the aspirations and dreams that drove individuals like Rhodes to strive for greatness.
