EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The General Post Office on Adderley Street in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the magnificent structure that served as a hub for postal services and communication during that era. The image reveals a bustling scene at the post office, with people arriving to send and receive mail. The administrative branches are visible through the windows, while publishers can be seen busy at work on the ground floor. The east hall parcel section is filled with activity, as individuals sort through packages and parcels. The architectural beauty of the building is evident from its stone facade to its central tower. The main staircase leads visitors to various administrative offices and private box lobbies, where newspapers and correspondence are collected. Surrounded by other commercial establishments on Adderley Street, this post office was not only a place for posting letters but also a center for trade and business transactions. It played a vital role in connecting people across South Africa through its efficient postal draft system. With its historical significance captured in this photograph, one cannot help but marvel at how such an impressive structure facilitated communication during those times. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of reliable postal services in our ever-evolving world of technology-driven communication methods.
