EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-F-002497-0000" we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Cape Town, South Africa, circa 1903. The image captures a remarkable moment as the South African light cavalry corps parades along Adderly Street, showcasing their military prowess and adding an air of grandeur to the city. As our eyes wander through the scene, we notice a few carriages and a tram coming to a halt on the left side of the street. It seems that even everyday life pauses momentarily to witness this impressive display of armed forces. Spectators line the street, their faces filled with awe and admiration for these brave soldiers who protect their nation. The photograph offers us a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time—depicting not only military life but also providing insights into the Republic of South Africa's past. We can almost feel the energy in the air as horses trot gracefully alongside men dressed in uniform, exuding strength and discipline. Underwood & Underwood masterfully captured this vibrant street scene with action unfolding before our eyes. The composition allows us to take in both panoramic views of Cape Town's cityscape while focusing on intricate details such as carriages and trams navigating through daily life. This print serves as a testament to how transportation has evolved over time—from horse-drawn carriages to modern-day vehicles—and provides us with valuable historical context about populations, territories, and contemporary nations' histories. Alinari presents yet another stunning visual masterpiece that takes us on an enchanting journey through time—an evocative reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
