EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Town Hall of Ladysmith, Natal Province, South Africa, circa 1905. The classical, neoclassical architecture of the building stands proudly against the southern African sky, with its pediment, portico, and Doric columns showcasing the grandeur of the era. However, a closer look reveals the damage inflicted during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. A wartime shell failed to explode near the clock tower, leaving a lasting mark on the once pristine structure. The cannon and guns, remnants of the conflict, are positioned nearby as a reminder of the turbulent history that shaped this town. The time on the clock seems to have stopped, frozen in the past, while the world around it continues to move forward. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Ladysmith and the resilience of its people, as they rebuilt and continued to thrive in the aftermath of the war.
