Bloemfontein from the Fort,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating illustration by C Wilkinson, showcases the tranquil beauty of Bloemfontein, the capital city of the Orange Free State, an independent Boer Republic in South Africa, around the turn of the 20th century. This evocative image is derived from a photograph and was originally published in "Cassell's History of England," Volume IX, by Cassell and Company, Limited, in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne. Bloemfontein, meaning "fountain of flowers," is nestled in the heart of the South African Highveld, and its serene landscape is on full display in this print. The city's architectural gems, such as the stately houses and impressive buildings, are depicted with meticulous detail, reflecting the prosperity and progress of the time. The print also highlights the strategic location of the city, with its positioning atop a hill and the surrounding lush greenery, which provided a natural defense and a picturesque backdrop. The British influence is evident in the cityscape, with the presence of well-maintained houses and buildings that exude a sense of order and stability. The print, published by Cassell and Company, was likely intended for inclusion in the extensive historical work, "Cassell's History of England," to provide readers with a visual representation of the diverse and intriguing world beyond the shores of England. This image, created by C Wilkinson and published by N.P. Edwards for The Print Collector, invites us to explore the rich history and cultural significance of Bloemfontein and the Orange Free State during the 1900s.
