EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Church Street in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century. Established in 1838, Pietermaritzburg is the capital city of the KwaZulu-Natal province and holds significant historical importance in South African history. The image showcases the bustling street, lined with Victorian-era buildings, many of which still stand today. At the heart of the scene is the imposing silhouette of the Pietermaritzburg Cathedral, a beautiful Anglican church built between 1897 and 1900. The cathedral, with its impressive Gothic Revival architecture, is a testament to the city's rich colonial past. The photograph also reveals the vibrant social and commercial life of Pietermaritzburg during this era. Horse-drawn carts and wagons are visible on the street, while people in traditional African attire and European clothing can be seen interacting with one another. The presence of various shops, including a saddlery, a bakery, and a grocery store, further underscores the diverse and bustling nature of the town. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Pietermaritzburg and South Africa during a pivotal period in their shared past. The image, taken circa 1897, invites us to explore the complex and intriguing history of this remarkable city and the people who have called it home.
