EDITORS COMMENTS
Looking up West Street, Durban, South Africa, 1895. A glimpse into the bustling cityscape of Durban in the late 19th century, this print captures the architectural charm and vibrant street life of a bygone era. Taken by William Laws Caney, an esteemed photographer of his time, this image showcases the introduction of horse-drawn trams to the city in 1880. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous development in public transportation. The horsecars gracefully traverse along West Street, carrying passengers through its busy lanes. The buildings that line both sides exude grandeur and character, reflecting the architectural style prevalent during that period. This photograph is not just a visual documentation but also a testament to progress and innovation within urban landscapes. It offers us a unique perspective on how cities evolve over time while still preserving their historical essence. Preserved within these frames is more than just bricks and mortar; it encapsulates memories of people going about their daily lives amidst the hustle and bustle of early Durban. This snapshot serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of transportation systems. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such valuable glimpses into history.
