EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Pretorius Street, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa. The year is circa 1905, and the cityscape is filled with architectural marvels that showcase the grandeur of this African metropolis. On the left side of the image stands the magnificent Transvaal Hotel, an iconic landmark that exudes elegance and luxury. Its towering presence commands attention as pedestrians pass by on the busy pavement below. To its right stands another architectural gem - the Opera House. With its ornate facade and majestic balconies, it serves as a cultural hub for entertainment enthusiasts. The street itself is teeming with life; people from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines. Government offices line one side of Pretorius Street while shops and stores occupy prime real estate on both sides. Horses pull carriages along the road, transporting individuals to their desired destinations. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of Willy Muller's bicycle shop adorned with advertisements for Adler agents - a testament to early forms of transportation available at that time. This print not only captures a moment in history but also encapsulates the spirit and vibrancy of Pretoria during this era. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still retaining elements that make them unique and timeless.
