EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of St Marys Roman Catholic Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa. The cathedral, built in the 19th century, stands tall with its impressive Gothic architecture and magnificent stained glass windows. Its considerable height and spacious seating capacity make it a celebrated venue for musical performances, taking advantage of its exceptional acoustic properties. Situated in Roeland Square on Plein Street, this unpretentious yet awe-inspiring edifice is a true testament to South African architectural prowess. The high altar at the top of the cathedral adds to its splendor, while side altars provide additional spaces for worship. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this historic building that has been an integral part of Cape Town's religious landscape since 1851. With its rich history and connection to Napoleon III and the Bonaparte family, St Marys Roman Catholic Cathedral holds both cultural significance and visual appeal. Presented here as a window into South Africa's past, this picture allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual importance that emanates from within these hallowed walls. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experience across time and continents through artistry captured by English photographer Dennis Edwards in his work for Picturesque South Africa (c. 1895).
