Cannon Clock Columns Kruger Palm Plinth Pretoria Southern Transvaal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Railway Station in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa, circa 1920. The image showcases a remarkable blend of architectural beauty and historical significance. Standing tall amidst the city's landscape are magnificent buildings adorned with columns and a clock tower that serves as a timeless symbol of punctuality. In the foreground, we see people going about their daily lives, perhaps waiting for trains or bidding farewell to loved ones. The station's surroundings are lush with trees and grass, offering a serene backdrop to this vibrant scene. A palm tree adds an exotic touch while cannons on plinths remind us of the region's history. However, what truly captures our attention is the imposing Kruger memorial statue at one end of the station. This sculpture pays homage to Paul Kruger, an influential figure in South African history who played a pivotal role in shaping the nation during his presidency from 1883-1902. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back to an era where steam engines chugged along these tracks and travelers embarked on exciting journeys across Southern Africa. It serves as both a nostalgic reminder of days gone by and a testament to human progress throughout time.
