The Raadzaal, Pretoria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing the grandeur and historical significance of the Ou Raadsaal (Old Council Hall) in Pretoria, South Africa. Taken by renowned illustrator A.E. Huitt around the turn of the 20th century, this photograph was published in "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX" by Cassell and Company, Limited. The Neo-Classical architectural masterpiece served as the parliament of the South African Republic, housing the Volksraad, from 1891 to 1902. The exterior of the Raadzaal, with its imposing columns and intricate detailing, exudes an air of authority and importance. The photograph, taken from an outdoor perspective, highlights the building's impressive scale and grandeur, making it a striking representation of the political and historical landscape of the time. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South Africa and the role that Pretoria played in the country's political history. The Neo-Classical style, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is evident in the building's design, reflecting the influence of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The Raadzaal stands as a symbol of the political power and influence of the South African Republic during this period. This photograph, taken from "Cassell's History of England," offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a significant historical building and the political climate of the time. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, architectural records, or art and literature related to South Africa and its rich history.
