EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Transvaal Crisis, Scenes in and about Pretoria" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1899, it offers a glimpse into the turmoil that engulfed South Africa during the late 19th century. The print showcases an array of scenes and landmarks within Pretoria, the capital city of Transvaal. From its bustling streets to its magnificent architecture, every detail is meticulously captured. The viewer's eye is drawn towards Church Street East, where an avenue of blue gum trees provides shade for passersby. Church Square stands proudly at the heart of this composition, surrounded by various places of worship. The Dutch Reformed Church dominates the skyline with its grandeur and symbolizes the religious significance embedded within this crisis-ridden era. As we explore further into this intricate artwork, our gaze shifts towards Daas Poort Hill on Pretoria's east side. Here lies Jess's Cottage, nestled amidst nature's beauty—a serene contrast to the chaos unfolding elsewhere. Wright's engraving presents a birds-eye view that allows us to appreciate both the topography and architectural wonders of Pretoria during this tumultuous time. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and his dedication to capturing historical moments with precision. This remarkable lithograph not only transports us back in time but also invites contemplation on how these scenes played a part in shaping South Africa's complex history.
