EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to Church Street, Pretoria, in the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer and now part of a private collection, this image captures the essence of historical Pretoria. The bustling city street is depicted with remarkable clarity, showcasing the architectural beauty of its buildings. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed the cobbled streets. One can almost hear the clatter of hooves and feel the energy that once filled these historic surroundings. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for a booklet titled "Pretoria Souvenir" published around 1900 by R O Basson. It serves as a visual testament to South Africa's rich history and cultural heritage. Church Street itself stands as a symbol of both progress and tradition within Gauteng Province. Its significance lies not only in its physical presence but also in its role as a witness to countless stories unfolding throughout time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed while marveling at what remains unchanged. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our past while appreciating the vibrant present-day cityscape that has emerged from these humble beginnings.
