EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured image captures the bustling atmosphere of Adderley Street in Cape Town, South Africa during the late 1890s. The vibrant scene is filled with traders haggling over goods and carriages laden with merchandise, making their way through the crowded streets. The presence of European settlers and African locals working and trading side by side is a testament to the diverse and multicultural society that existed in Cape Town during this period. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 287, South Africa Diamond Mines, held at Mary Evans Prints Online. The lantern slide, likely used for educational or entertainment purposes, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the history and culture of Cape Town during the late 19th century. The image is a reminder of the rich history and complex social dynamics that have shaped South Africa's past and continue to influence its present.
