EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa circa 1905. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Grand Hotel, standing proudly on Church Square. Its grandeur is evident from its large ironwork portico and elegant arches that adorn its facade. As we observe this snapshot of history, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traverse the city streets. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement in their traditional attire, adding an authentic African touch to the scene. The hotel's balcony overlooks Church Square, providing a perfect vantage point for guests to admire both the architectural beauty surrounding them and the lively atmosphere below. It serves as a testament to an era when travel was considered a luxury experience. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important part of Pretoria's rich heritage. It reminds us of how cities evolve over time while still preserving elements of their past. With its intricate details and historical significance, this image from Mary Evans Prints Online allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in constructing such buildings as well as our connection with those who walked these very streets more than a century ago.
