EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Cape Town in 1914. The image, captured by a talented French photographer from the 20th century, showcases New Adderley Street in all its colonial glory. The architectural beauty of this South African city is on full display, with Victorian buildings lining the street as a testament to its rich history. Each structure tells a story of Cape Town's past, reflecting both its African roots and its ties to the British Commonwealth. Originally named after Charles B. Adderley, a prominent British parliamentarian in the mid-19th century, New Adderley Street exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. It serves as a reminder of Cape Town's connection to its colonial past while also celebrating its unique African identity. This remarkable photograph transports us into another era, allowing us to witness firsthand the vibrant energy that once filled these historic streets. As we gaze upon this timeless scene captured by an anonymous French artist long ago, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over the years yet appreciate how some elements have remained beautifully preserved. As we admire this stunning piece from our private collection, let it serve as a tribute not only to Cape Town's architectural heritage but also as a window into Africa's diverse cultural tapestry that continues to thrive today.
