EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of South Africa's Du Toitspan Road in Kimberley, pre-1900. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the early days of British colonialism in South Africa. The scene is set in the southern part of Africa, specifically in the town of Kimberley, known for its diamond mines. The road, named Du Toitspan Road, stretches out before us, lined with trees and dotted with horse-drawn wagons and trams. The trams, a common mode of transportation during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the image. The horses, with their powerful builds and determined expressions, seem to be pulling the wagons and trams through the dusty terrain with ease. The lanterns on the trams add a sense of security and safety, illuminating the way for travelers as the sun sets. The photograph also showcases the early British influence in South Africa, with the red-roofed buildings and white-washed walls of the houses in the background. The British Empire had established its presence in the region, and this image captures the essence of colonial life in South Africa during that time. The vintage feel of the photograph, with its muted colors and grainy texture, adds to its charm and allure. It's a reminder of a time long gone, when life moved at a slower pace, and the world was still being explored and discovered. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in South African history, colonialism, or early 20th-century transportation.
