EDITORS COMMENTS
This image takes us back to the late 19th century in South Africa, specifically Church Street in Pretoria. The photograph, part of Box 287 from the Boswell Collection at South Africa Diamond Mines, offers a glimpse into the history of this vibrant African city. In the foreground, two women stand gracefully, their presence adding depth and intrigue to the scene. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, allowing us to imagine what life was like during those times. Behind them lies Church Street itself - a bustling thoroughfare filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily routines. The use of photography adds an air of nostalgia to this historical snapshot. It transports us back to an era when life moved at a slower pace and technology had yet to dominate our existence. As we gaze upon this lantern slide numbered 34 from circa 1890s, we are reminded of how much has changed since then. Pretoria has evolved into a modern metropolis while still retaining its rich cultural heritage. This print is not just a mere photograph; it is a window into another time - an opportunity for reflection on how far we have come as individuals and as societies. Let it serve as a reminder that history shapes our present and influences our future.
