EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Loop Street, Middelburg, Cape Colony between 1901-1910. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, but their work beautifully captures the essence of a bygone era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see an empty and unpaved street lined with a row of majestic trees. The absence of people or vehicles evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude. It is as if the town itself has momentarily paused, allowing us to appreciate its serene beauty. Middelburg was established by the Cape Colony government in 1852 and lies within the Upper Karoo region, now part of South Africa's Eastern Cape province. This photograph showcases the simplicity and charm that characterized small towns during this period. The monochrome composition adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both light and shadow across buildings along the road. It feels like stepping into a postcard from history—a glimpse into everyday life in early 20th century Middelburg. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, let us reflect on how much our world has changed since then. Yet through photographs like these, we can still connect with our past and appreciate the timeless allure of places such as Loop Street in Middelburg.
