EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Alexandersfontein, a rural area near the diamond mining town of Kimberley in South Africa, circa 1909. The image showcases the tranquil countryside, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, dotted with acacia trees and rolling hills. In the middle distance, the Alexandersfontein Hotel stands proudly, a beacon of hospitality and rest for weary travelers. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of a few local boys in the foreground, clad in traditional attire, who are engrossed in a game or perhaps just taking a break from their daily chores. The addition of a horse-drawn cart and a tram in the background adds a sense of transportation and connectivity to the otherwise idyllic setting. The period detail of this photograph, with its vintage clothing and modes of transport, transports us back in time to the early 1900s, a time of great change and development in South Africa's history. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of cultures and traditions that defined life in rural South Africa during this era.
