EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the grandeur of the Houses of Parliament in Cape Town. Taken by an English photographer, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the iconic architecture that has become synonymous with South Africa's political history. The photograph was originally featured in "Picturesque South Africa" a publication by Dennis Edwards around 1895. The imposing structure, reminiscent of the British Parliament, stands tall against a clear sky, exuding power and authority. The Houses of Parliament consist of two distinct buildings: the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council. These structures were erected between 1872 and 1886 in Cape Town's charming neighborhood. They served as a meeting place for government officials responsible for governing Cape Colony at that time. With its handsome design and numbering around ninety members, these houses provided an avenue for important legislative sessions to take place. The rules and procedures adopted here played a crucial role in shaping South African governance during this period. As we admire this historical photograph, we are reminded of how these buildings once housed politicians who resided within their walls for twenty days each year to carry out their duties. This print serves as both a testament to our past and an invitation to explore further into South Africa's rich political heritage.
