EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Lower St Georges Street in Cape Town, South Africa during the 19th century. The image showcases a commendable view of this bustling street, known for its opening to the bay and its enterprise-driven merchants. The row of handsome buildings lining the thoroughfare is a testament to the prosperity that once thrived in this area. In those years, Lower St Georges Street was considered one of the best streets in Cape Town, offering a clear view of the sea at its end. However, as time went by, obstructed views and unsightly properties began to appear, diminishing some of its former glory. The photograph itself is an impressive piece of early photography by an English photographer from that era. It belongs to a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "Picturesque South Africa" by Dennis Edwards around 1895. Looking at this image today allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty that once defined Lower St Georges Street. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time while also highlighting the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
