EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Church Street, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa in the early 1910s. The bustling city street is filled with life as pedestrians stroll along the pavement and horse-drawn carriages make their way through the busy thoroughfare. In the foreground, a municipal tram on Route 1 can be seen heading towards its destination of Sunnyside. The architecture of this vibrant city is showcased by an array of beautiful buildings that line both sides of Church Street. Stores and shops adorn the street, offering a glimpse into daily life during this era. Balconies overlook the bustling scene below, providing residents with a front-row seat to all the action. Transportation was diverse in this period; bicycles were a popular mode for those seeking independence while horses and carriages provided elegance and comfort for others. However, it's undoubtedly the presence of trams that truly defines this image. The tramcar stands out amidst its surroundings as it effortlessly glides along its designated route. This historical photograph transports us back in time to experience Pretoria's rich heritage firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting some enduring aspects that continue to shape our modern world today.
