EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St Johns River, Old Jetty and Warehouses" takes us back to the 19th century in South Africa. The image showcases a scene of bustling trade and commerce along the St Johns River, with old warehouses lining its banks. The photographer, an English artist from that era, skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant port city. The picture transports us to a time when European powers were vying for control over territories in Africa. In this particular location, Great Britain had established its presence through annexing nearby areas such as Pondoland. Steamers loaded with cargo are seen docked at the old jetty, ready to convey goods across miles of ocean. The light shining on the river adds a touch of serenity to this otherwise industrious setting. It illuminates not only the physical landscape but also hints at the prospects and possibilities that lay ahead for Cape Colony and South Africa as a whole. Situated at the mouth of Umzimvubu River, this estuary played a crucial role in facilitating trade between Europe and Durban's busy port. The photograph serves as a historical document showcasing British influence in South African history during that period. With its rich detail and impeccable composition, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into both local life and international relations at that time. It is truly a remarkable piece captured by an English photographer whose work continues to captivate audiences even today.
