EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic St Georges Cathedral in South Africa, a true testament to architectural beauty. Built in the 19th century, this fated structure was designed to accommodate a congregation of native worshippers. The image showcases the cathedral's stunning stained glass windows, intricate pulpit, and handsome organ. The photograph also highlights various elements that add to its historical significance. Tablets honoring Bishop Grey and other members of the community can be seen, paying tribute to their contributions. Additionally, it is mentioned that some unfortunate individuals met their end through drowning or shipwreck. The fine details captured by English Photographer Dennis Edwards truly bring out the grandeur of this place of worship. The contrast between light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere within the cathedral's walls. It is interesting to note that this photograph was featured as an illustration for "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. This adds another layer of historical context to the image itself. Overall, this print serves as a beautiful reminder of St Georges Cathedral's rich history and its importance within South African culture. It stands as a symbol not only of religious devotion but also architectural brilliance in both design and execution.
