Panorama of Pretoria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating image of the South African capital city, captured by photographer C Wilkinson around the turn of the 20th century. This stunning panoramic view, published in "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX" by Cassell and Company, showcases the city's architectural grandeur and serene beauty under the soft glow of a nighttime sky. Located in the heart of the South African Republic, Pretoria was a burgeoning metropolis in the late 1800s, attracting settlers and travelers from around the world. The city's unique blend of Victorian and Boer architecture is on full display in this photograph, with imposing structures such as the Voortrekker Monument and the Pretoria City Hall standing proudly against the backdrop of the night. The print, titled "Panorama of Pretoria," was published by Cassell and Company, a renowned British publishing house with a rich history in literature and illustration. The image was likely included in the ninth volume of "Cassell's History of England," which focused on the British Empire and its expanding influence around the world. The time of day in this photograph, with its soft, ethereal lighting, adds an extra layer of intrigue and allure to the scene. The city seems to be bathed in a gentle, otherworldly glow, inviting the viewer to explore its hidden corners and discover the stories that lie within. This beautiful panoramic print, created by C Wilkinson and published by N.P. Edwards for Cassell and Company, offers a unique glimpse into the history and character of Pretoria during a pivotal moment in time. It is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another place and time, and to inspire our imaginations with the wonders of the world around us.
